| Objective of Collaboration | I'm a science teacher in Florida and do a Ship-A-Chip project with my 5th graders in April/May. It is an engineering design project where students get one potato chip and design a box in which they can ship the chip through the mail without breaking. I work with 5 fifth grade classes. I have always just shipped them from home to school, but this year I would like to send them somewhere else (your school!) and video conference (webcam) when you and your class open the boxes to see if the group's chips survived the journey. If you do this project too you can send them to us and we can open them here and assess the effectiveness of their designs! I have lots of info on the project if you are interested in doing it with your students also, or you can just volunteer so we can send our chips to you. Thanks. | ||
