Cup Challenge

Today we worked as a team to solve a cup challenge. I LOVE this challenge! We used 6 cups, 1 rubber band, and 4 strings for each team. Each person holds onto a piece of string and working together manipulates the rubber band to grasp and move a cup from one structure to a cup pyramid.

Shake and Quake Lab

Today students were working in teams to create seismic safe structures. They first were required to create a blue print of a two story structure.  Students then began building using marshmallows and toothpicks. The final test was to place the structure on jello and simulate primary and secondary waves.  They had a blast!!
