Angles in Action – Putt Putt Golf

Mrs. Winter’s 8th grade STEM students recently completed a unit called “Angles in Action”. We began by learning about angles of incident and reflection where they completed a digital putt putt golf course while reflecting angles to achieve a hole in one. We then engineered our own putt putt golf course so we could see our angles in action. The students worked for 5 weeks with their partners to create an 8 hole putt putt golf course, which was then moved into the Media Center to be played by students and staff. All players were also encouraged to vote for the hole they thought was the best.
