While studying construction, students actually construct model bridges and towers and test their effectiveness using various stresses. Students manufacture small projects using mass production and crafting techniques. School videos and photography is just a small part of the communication exploration area. The transportation unit allows students to try magnetic levitation vehicles as well as hot air balloons. Sixth seventh and eighth grade students explore the world of work through the Industrial Technology class.
Students use hands-on activities to reinforce learning in major cluster areas.
The sixth grade students explore for a nine-week session while the seventh and eighth grades explore for a semester. The seventh grade is exposed to more than the sixth grade students and the eighth grade students experience different and more advanced activities if they have been in the class before.
