ELM+Unit-+Motion+and+Magnets

For our ELM unit on Motion and magnets, students learned all about positional words (beside, between, etc.) and words that show direction (zig-zag, back/forth, up/down, etc.) and how magnets work. As their final projects, they were to create a model of an obstacle course for our Coaches to recreate in gym class for them. They were told the coaches would judge their projects and make the winning one come to life for them to do in PE. Their board was to show movement and they had to make a game piece out of magnets to move through their board as they described it's path.

Coaches decided to select different features of each project and students went through it as a grade level. They had so much fun! Click on the linke below to see the video clip!
