Did you know that February 14th is the annual observance of National Ferris Wheel Day? This unofficial national holiday is held on this day to honor the birth of the inventor of the Ferris Wheel, George Washington Gale Ferris, Jr. Please ask your student to tell you the story of George Ferris. In honor of his birthday, we read the book Mr. Ferris and His Wheel and then completed a STEM activity.
The Problem Investigators worked together in 'construction teams' to plan and build a Ferris Wheel. They relied on their skills of problem solving, planning, perseverance, patience, and presentation as they engineered their Ferris Wheels.
We know ways to play because it helps us learn!
