Week Four of ALPS

The third through eighth grade groups have started their animation projects in earnest. Last week they worked on their scripts and storyboards. They'll finish those up this week if they haven't already and start making their characters, the props and backgrounds.
The first and second grade groups got to experiment with roller coasters. They built roller coasters out of pipe insulation tubes. The learned the importance that gravity and centrifugal force plays in the construction of roller coasters. We all agreed that if we could, we would love to take a field trip to Six Flags to see one up close and personal. Maybe even ride one! This week we plan to map the tongue and its taste buds...yummy!!!
