EXPLORE is RES 4th Grades version of the 30 minute Intervention Block. Students are grouped with other students who are similar learners. Teachers plan learning activities that are inspired by Dunlaps Vision Statement. Students are challenged to use their brains in ways theyve never done before!
Communication Challenge Students competed in teams to build a replica of a mystery structure model. Each students role had an impairment that had to be overcome in order to succeed in the challenge. (For Director : sees the model, but cant build it. Builder: builds model without seeing it example, not being able Runner: delivers directions from the Director to speak or see the to Builder, without being able to speak! structure)
Popsicle Stick Challenges Students were challenged to manipulate popsicle sticks to make various new designs. Students learned to think outside the box, and to persevere Make 3 identical squares by through a frustrating moving 4 popsicle sticks... problem!
The Great Egg Drop Challenge Students were challenged to create a container that would protect a raw egg from breaking when dropped from Ridgeviews roof.
Students were challenged to create a recognizable object out of various types of geometric solids. Students used Decorative Flower Pot teamwork to Unicorn plan, measure, and build their objects.
MTV Project Students were challenged to create new musical instruments that played 3 different sounds. Then they were grouped into bands, and had to compose and perform an original song for the class.
Students chose any GPS topic of personal interest to research. They created presentations in Glogster, Prezi, or Animoto and used the Smart Board to share them with their Explore group. Snakes
The Roaring Twenties was an exciting time in history. Students in 5th grade were charged with creating a presentation for their classmates. Many options were brainstormed and accepted.
