The First Graders became engineers during our last science class. We read about towers, then used what we learned to experiment with building our own towers. We talked about the properties of materials that worked best for building.

Towers made from different materials -- marshmallows & spaghetti

In math class, we began learning about angles that make up the corners of shapes. We classified them as "pointy" or "not as pointy". As we built with the marshmallows and spaghetti, the students started seeing examples of these types of corners in real life!
