Reebops:

Students in Class II are studying genetics and inheritance in science. They created figures called "Reebops" out of marshmallows, gumdrops, toothpicks, etc. Each "reebop" had unique characteristics selected at random from chromosome strips made to represent the dominant or recessive alleles inherited from the parents.

Eminent Domain:

Students in class V have created models of properties that they must defend against the government in an Eminent Domain hearing.  They also must care for their property during a number of situations that may affect their home or business (lost jobs, health inspections, winning the lottery, floods, tax payments, etc.).

Marshmallow Catapults:

Students in Class II applied their knowledge of energy and forces to create catapults out of shoeboxes, rubber bands, plastic spoons and other everyday materials. They tested their creations to see which catapult could shoot a marshmallow the farthest, and the closest to a designated target.
