Our STEM project!

 
Okay, so here was our task... We were in five groups and had to work together in our groups to create a tower.
 
 
First, we discussed what would work and sketched our towers.









 

 
 Each group received a bag of materials...
 

 The discussions began!  As a group, one sketch was chosen...with modifications after seeing the materials...




 Then, the building began!!!











 It was NOT as easy as they thought!!


 Will it stand for 30 seconds????




 And...the winner is... 19 inches!!!!!
So much fun to watch these kids work so well together!!
