Welcome to Science and Engineering class!  We have a lot of fun projects to work on!  Engineering is a very creative process that requires persistence.  Sometimes you may be frustrated that something isn’t working and that is a good thing!  Engineering involves finding solutions to problems. This class will cover the topics below.  Depending on how quickly we work, we might be able to do more!

How will You be graded?

Your participation and work ethic make up a large part of your grade.  Your journal should be maintained in the proper order with a Table of Contents.  There will be contests for most structures that we will build.  You won’t be graded on whether or not you win but you will be graded on your effort and if you followed directions.   There are occasional tests and quizzes that will make up your grade as well.
