Engineering Olympics:  Our finale for science and engineering!  The students are revisiting the three design projects (golf ball retriever, solar oven & catapult) with a focus on meeting certain criteria.  For example, the solar ovens are being judged on how fast the heat rises, the highest temperature reached, and how long they can store heat after being moved to the shade.   The design teams collaborate to rethink their past work and develop a new or improved design.
