Papermaking

Paper Making with Lonnie and Jacqueline

This is something we have been trying at home. Combine the papermaking activity with some history of papermaking and the science of paper making and you have a great unit study. It’s also a lot of fun.

K’nex Computer

These people are building a 4-bit adding machine from K’nex. It is 10 feet tall. That is a lot of K’nex.

See some videos and animations on their blog. This is a great project for higher level logic classes. Pretty good explanations are included.
