[Science] Structure and Stability quiz

Grade 3’s will be having a Structure and Stability quiz on Friday, Oct 26th, 2018.  Structure and Stability quiz. Students took the science duo-tang home over the weekend and it would be helpful to review the following concepts.

• Definitions:  structures, load, struts, ties, natural made, man made  
• Identify natural and human-made structures
• Understand the terms strength and stability
• Identify loads for different structures. (i.e.: What is the load for a desk?)
• Identify struts and ties and how they support a structure
• Understand how different materials have different purposes

[Science] Scientist in School

We had Scientist In School today.
We got to build and test a different type of structures. Special thanks to the parent volunteers who came to help our class today!

[Science] Lego Towers

We got to design a Lego tower today. We had to think about the following questions.
 Is my tower strong and stable? Does it have a strong base? Some groups will get a chance to finish their work tomorrow.

Science : Triangle? Or Square? Which one is stronger?

This is what we did in our science class for the last couple of days.
We built a square and a triangle and tested to see which one was stronger.


After the first experiment, we tried to make a square stronger by adding extra strips.
We learned that a triangle is stronger and stable than a square.
