Today students worked through two investigations that started with the questions, "What is engineering?" and What is technology?" Students created a 10-inch tower with constraints on materials that could hold a stuffed animal for 10 seconds. Then they created containers for school supplies, sound amplifiers, water transfer systems and a stuffed animal protection device.
We start and end the day playing, reflecting and praying. Today's game, called Zip, Zap, Zop (later we added a boing!) involved cadence and the transfer of energy from one person to another. It was a great first day!
