The state ELA exam is finished! You are one step closer to graduation. Stay strong, the Math and Science exams are still to come. We are currently working on our Exit Projects. Straw Rockets.It is a project where applying Newton’s three laws of motion, students design an investigation involving straw rockets. The five tasks have students develop their writing skills by having them practice formulating a question, paraphrasing text, developing a hypothesis, constructing a procedure, and analyzing data to draw a conclusion. The final performance task requires them to aggregate these portions of a lab report as well as make real-world connections from what they learned.
