Participating in activities based on Leonardo's scientific and engineering works, students will learn as he did - through experience, experimentation, observation and reflection.
Students create and control pendulums, seeking patterns in the way they swing.
Leonardo's Leaves Students find and describe plant patterns, and devise ways of testing why plant patterns exist. Sortin' Proportions Students explore human body proportions and see how their findings measure up against Leonardo's. Parts and Wholes Students build and operate simple machine models of bigger machines. Machine Mystery Students build working models of some of Leonardo's inventions. Mimicking Leonardo Students take the design challenge to invent a machine that will lift a heavy load.
