This week students were given a challenge to build a tower. The criteria the students were given was the tower must be free standing and as tall as possible. The only materials available to use were straws, popsicle sticks, masking tape, elastics. Students collaborated with a partner to design and build a tower. There were lots of conversations between each pair of students so they re-adjusted their tower or added to it to make it more stable. Next week we will write about our successes, challenges encountered and the next steps to make the tower better.
