Tackling Tuesday!

Get Ready! Get Set! Go!

First up today - we'll begin with our Socratic circle of questions. Topic for the day comes from The Green Book by Walsh.  Be prepared to dive into at least six layers of "why" to discover the reason everyone has to leave planet Earth.

Secondly - plan your agenda to be successful in preparing yourself for the Challenger Center.  Choices include:
             1)   Vocabulary Power Point, Crossword Puzzle or Memory Match Game

             2)   Challenge University.  Complete one semester and move on toward graduation!

             3)   Mars Madness:  Investigate games on Mars - and then invent one of your own. Begin HERE.

             4)   Build your Brain with Brain Bites. Add to your working memory about Mars. Choose 3 topics and then prepare a creative presentation to share your new information with the class.

             5)   Partner up to create your own Probe to investigate Mars.  Be ready to give and receive instructions.  You'll learn much about depending on another for success.

             6)   Design a Mars rover.  What kind of terrain will it need to traverse?  What kind of power?  Once you have a blueprint ready, create a step-by-step plan for assembly.

             7)  Create a set of  (10) I HAVE, WHO HAS...? Cards with your newly discovered Mars information.  Gather 2 friends and try them out!

             8)   Negotiate your own success.  Let's meet to figure out the next best step for your brain!

 Carpe Diem!
