5th and 6th Grade Times
Cesar
In 5th grade we skyped with Mr. Mayo’s class. They sent us videos that their 8th graders made. Then mostly every morning, we would work on our wiki page. Then we did a project called Harris Burdick. We each got pair with two other people to work on it. We made a story of the subject we got assigned to. Then we went to Marsopolis, we had worked on our system for more than two weeks almost everyday. After that we went to TMCC to take pictures for a magazine. Then we started to work on a blog video that we didn’t even finish. After that one day we came to school and we found our classroom window broken. Then we did a blog post about it. Then came 6th grade. We did a project on internet safety. We did a story on our blog about 7 random facts about us. Then we did a project call “Around The World With 80 Schools”. Some of the schools are from Argentina, Florida, New Zealand, China, Thailand, Canada and Wisconsin. After that came the RBP (Reno Bike Project). We made an ad and posters. Then we skyped with a guy named Alan Levine in Iceland. Then like a week or two later he came to visit our class. Then we skyped with a guy named Will Richardson. He told us that he was a vegetarian. After that a bike racer named Alex came to our class to talk about bike racing. Then we went to Marsopolis for the second time. We didn’t as much time as we did when we were in 5th grade. Then the Reno Gazette Journal came for a whole day. After that we went on a field trip to the Reno Bike Project. Then we work on our blog. Then we did a project that we have to research on the internet then write a short story about whatever we researched.

Mars Systems

Cesar





The two systems we did for Marsopolis were a glider and a car.



The Glider:

The glider has huge wings so that the glider can be in the air. The glider has very big wings because the atmosphere on Mars is very thin. The cockpit is in the middle and has a emergency parachute. The glider also has a flap to help it get in the air. It also has landing gear so it can stand up.

The Car:

The car works by solar power and wind turbines in the axle of the tire. The car also has big wheels to move the rocks out of the way on Mars. The car also has cameras and a satellite dish. The satellite dish senses big rocks and other obstacles then turns the cameras to that direction. The car also has a nose so it could be aerodynamic.
