Construction time!

Here are some pictures from our construction period today. We made shapes using various materials (plastic straws, paper straws, wooden popsicle sticks, pipe-cleaners) and then attached them using clay or glue to make 3-D structures. They were quite delicate, and most did not make it home in one piece, however they can easily be reassembled, and you have the following photos to refer to for the original design! In this activity, students combined their knowledge of shapes with what they have learned about different materials and how to make a strong structure. Thank you to our visiting maman for helping so many of us with our structures!
