Flight Lab: Nature’s Gravity-Defying Innovators

Grade level: 8th Grade

Initial ideas

Students will study birds, insects and how they fly. They will be learning about how air interacts with things like pinwheels, paper airplanes and air gliders. Students will learn about how humans have found inspiration from bugs and insects to continue to build, adapt and innovate flying a gravity defying devices and transportation modes.

Fresco Frenzy: From Plaster to Pigment

Grade level: High School

Initial ideas

The plan is to demonstrate for one hour the materials and process of painting a fresco painting, including using a prepared cartoon, a pouncing drawing, the plastering tools (mortar box, hawk, trowel), plastering the intonco on a prepared panel, mixing the dry pigments with water, and then begin painting in the transferred image. There will also be a few reproductions and two or three actual frescos for students to experience up close.

What if there was a tool to help us take our wild project ideas and create a scope and sequence? There is! Inkwire and the Professional Learning team at High Tech High’s Graduate School of Education designed an AI-assisted curriculum planning tool.

Powered by High Tech High's Kaleidoscope framework for project-based learning (PBL) design, this AI assistant helps educators – and learners! – integrate standards and curriculum requirements into a cycle of PBL Essentials.
