Engineering

While some children use the pendulum to make structures fall, 
other friends are interested in testing the strength of materials
to keep the structures up. 

A variety of materials were gathered as a provocation
along with a paste of flour and water. 


            What are the children learning?
                * Problem solving skills
    *Knowledge of physical properties of objects and materials
       *Explores and describes spatial relationships and shapes
