Making Models

Hands-on models demonstrate elecrticity, hydraulic systems in Middle School

Claire and Crystal demonstrate their systems

The Grade 6 students built model towns demonstrating their knowledge of electricity. They proudly presented their models and explained the type of electricity they researched (hydro, solar, wind, biomass, nuclear, or geothermal) and how they applied their learning in the design and construction process. They were also prepared to discuss their circuits, energy sources, and schematic drawings in detail.

Middle School students also explored how hydraulic systems work by designing and building their own working prototypes using syringes, tubing, and water. They followed the Engineering Design Process to research, plan, build, test, and improve devices such as hydraulic arms, presses, bridges, marble mazes and even a claw machine. Through this hands-on task, students developed problem-solving, collaboration, and presentation skills while connecting science and engineering concepts to real-world applications.
