Busy Builders:
Lately we've been working on a couple of building challenges, which have given the students the opportunity to collaborate with different classmates as they problem solve together. The first challenge involved building a structure with popsicle sticks and tape that could support a tennis ball. The second was to build the tallest tower possible with straws and tape. We've been discussing what has worked well and how we can improve our structures. Many students have offered some great suggestions to their classmates. We've been really impressed with their creativity and perseverance!
