In science this afternoon we were testing whether a square shape or an arch shape would hold more mass. This was a little mare chaotic, but fun all around. We also watched Caine's Arcade to start the science lesson. It is a great video about a boy who created this inventive arcade out of cardboard.
I told the kids to start thinking about the city we will build in class after the Easter break. We will keep testing materials to learn what kinds of materials and shapes are the strongest. We need cardboard boxes or boxboard boxes (ie. cereal boxes) for our building. If you have any at home please send them to school.
