Mrs. Park’s 4th Grade Class engaged in learning through the design cycle as they planned, built and revised their Rube Goldberg machines in groups.  Learners practice persistence as they tested and revised their theories of design. It was so impressive to witness 4th grade students using scientific vocabulary and asking great questions to guide their discussion and thinking throughout the process.
