{Second Grade Shops}

To end our Economics Unit, the Twosies worked in groups to start a business. They held business meetings to discuss whether their business would provide a good or service, design a logo for their business, and set a price for their shop. They then advertised their business with flyers. Some groups even created commercials to drum up customers! They are posted below:

Shops opened for business and all of the second graders had an opportunity to spend $10 dollars however they chose! Thank you parents for all of your help with this super fun project!

{Roller Coasters}

Check out the results of our Forces and Motion Unit!

To get us thinking about motion, speed, acceleration, and gravity we took a roller coaster ride!

We then studied the history of roller coasters, read books about roller coasters, and conducted some experiments to change the speed and direction of a moving object.

To end our unit, we participated in the Coaster Challenge. We had the BEST time constructing roller coasters in our classroom! The challenge was to build a roller coaster out of pool noodles and duct tape that would allow a marble to travel through a loop. Each group was successful...one group even had two working loops!
