The Feather On A Stick and The Feather On A Spring

The Feather On A Stick! Two things that this feather on a stick can do which is poke people and tickle people in a further range when broken can be fixed only in problems of the feather falling off the stick or the line around the stick falls off BUT the only problem (I think) that cannot be fixed is when the stick breaks.

The Feather On A Spring!this final invention can bounce can break cannot fly and can stand and stick onto things like fingers, sticks, pens, etc. You could put it by a window put it anywhere even tickle people with the feather part.And if your a teacher you can point at things with it.(this item does not have a real spring).

Learning Area: iExperience - Science          Key Competency: Participating & Contributing

Learning Observed

During iExperience in Week 5, the learners were able to opt in to Sustainability related sessions. Toni chose to learn more about Honey Bees and why it is necessary to care for them on a global scale. He learned about reasons why global bee populations are decreasing and how this connects to the foods we eat. We also looked at the products that bees provide for us e.g. honey. There were 10 bee related challenges that the learners could choose from. All of the activities required them to demonstrate curiosity. One challenge was to use a recipe that included honey as an ingredient. We made Crunchy Banana Pops. Toni had to cover a frozen banana with honey and then roll it in Rice Bubbles and sprinkles. Afterwards, he gave his Crunchy Banana Pop a rating out of 10 and discussed reasons for this.
