We started the Stability: Strong and Stable Structures unit.
Here are some images of what we discussed in the class.
We walked around the school building to find some natural structures and man-made structures.
If an object is stable, that means that it will stand firm, it won't fall over. Yesterday, we tested with three different cardboard tubes on a tray to see which tube would fell over first.
Based on our experiment, we learned that short structures are more stable than tall structures.
Today, each group was provided with a tray, three different sizes of cardboard tubes, dried beans, a tape, and an elastic band. Our mission was to create a more stable structure with the tallest cardboard tube.
