This morning I was greeted with several students stopping me in the hall to ask if we were going to do another challenge today. I was happy to say yes and see the excitement in their eyes! Students completed the straw challenge today. This was extremely difficult for them because their initial thoughts were to tape the structure to the table as they did with their spaghetti tower on Tuesday. Their expectations were high...like their towers, however, they quickly found out that their high towers would not support the tennis ball. I also let them choose their own groups today to see if that made any difference in their "teamwork". I'm excited about tomorrow's challenge...we're building boats!
Enjoy the rest of the pictures from today.....
