I received this from Ms. Van Der Stad, a 4th grade teacher at Oak Street. Please let me know ASAP if you are interested. We would start planning in march. Could be fun to build our own and see if we can beat 4th graders, oops, I mean assist 4 th graders. Also could be a nice way to wind down from the Jnauary  physics olympics.
Thanks so much for being excited about an opportunity at Oak Street!  We have  four 4th grade classrooms.  Basically, we are looking for two groups of 4  students (8) to come down to Oak Street (for a 2 hr. block) and do some sort of  experiment and/or discuss the concepts of Motion and Design.  Each group of 4  students would present the same information in two classrooms.
We will  be starting this unit probably in April.  So, any time during that month would  be wonderful.
 In the 4th grade Motion and Design Unit, students work with  Kinnex to create cars.  With the cars they do different tests to see how the  change of shape or addition of other materials (sail, fan, thicker rubber band)  change the speed of the car. 
If any h.s. students would be willing to come  down, our students would love it! 
Any ideas of what the h.s. students  could talk about/ show them would be great.
