Structures Scavenger Hunt

As a review activity for their Structures and Forces unit, my grade sevens worked in teams to do a school wide scavenger hunt.  I gave them a list of key word wall words we learned, a mini whiteboard and sent them off to find "real life" examples around our school.  Each team had a phone with a camera as well (not a problem in this digital age!)

The students set out after reviewing how to be respectful with other classes in session.  When they discovered an example from their list, they had to write on the mini white board and take a picture.  They shared their pics on a shared Picassa album that we then went over in class as a whole.  It helped to facilitate discussion on each key term and the concepts surrounding each.  They loved to see their pictures up on the smartboard!
