Science Projects

For the past while my students have been working on their culminating project (this just means, "Big project that you do at the end that incorporates lots of stuff") for the electricity unit. They either had to build a useful electrical system or answer a question about electricity and its properties by designing and conducting an experiment.

This student here decided to make a chair that, whenever you sit down has a lightbulb above that turns on automatically. I have dubbed it "The Reading Chair". The only drawback is that my classroom reeks of glue and paint right now. Good thing I'm in Colombia and can keep the windows open ALL the time ALL year long.
