Orange Band: Human, Week 5

Written by Piper Alldredge

5 days.Seven 7- and 8-year-olds.2 field trips.One collaborator.Zero voice.This is what happens when you try to be a teacher who can't talk:The curved projection screen of this camera obscura at the Cliff House is a lot like the retina of our eyes! Thank you Robert for being so flexible with scheduling, and for giving us some tips on our own pinhole cameras!After the camera, we had a picnic lunch at the Sutro Baths, duh! Planning some more SF history after break...!You know how humans pass on culture from one generation to the next? In this game, we needed to pass on knowledge of a maze from one student to the next, but only if our friend asked for help, in order to get everyone through a maze of stones across a stream. Tesla and Ramses check out these tide tiles in the Observatory. We had some flashbacks to the Rock Arc too!Then Ramses and Nolan explored some of the changing geology of the Bay Area, like shipping routes and the history of the shoreline. They had to do this very quietly, because there was a conference happening in the Observatory!Isaac, Sadie and Tesla working on planning the layout for their About Me books! Since these will be carefully written and bound (by US, of course), we need to make a very detailed plan for how we want each page to look. This means we also need to think about what we want to go on each page.Ramses, will you be the Waste Wizard at the end of community lunch today? "YES."
