Today Greg gave us the task of designing a frog that jumps using a small piece of cardboard, an elastic band, a piece of sticky tape and a little picture of a frog. Steph and I worked together to try to design our jumping frog. We didn't have success. The cardboard became flimsy the more we played around with it. The idea was to come up with the best design by first completing a design brief. This task would be perfect for primary school students as it offers a challenge and helps them to understand the importance of brainstorming and planning before jumping into a task.
We also created our own quiz game on the following website http://www.quia.com/web. I created a quiz aimed at younger students. It was about different types of pets. Go to http://www.quia.com/quiz/2513813.html to have a go. (N.B. I recently clicked on this link and it appears that my quiz has been removed). We also created other activities like hangman. Go to http://www.quia.com/hm/668181.html.
This could be good for students to pair up and create a quiz for each other based on something they had researched.
