2nd Grade Learns about Building Big

The 2nd grade students used 6 Hat Thinking to reflect on their 1st semester today.  After learning about animal/natural structures during the first part of the year, they are now beginning to learn about man-made structures.  We had a bit of a technical glitch with our wi-fi, but fortunately we still had internet access for our whiteboard.  The students learned about the different things that can affect building large structures, such as: forces, shapes, materials, and loads.  They were surprised to learn that a triangle is actually stronger than a rectangle!  Here is a link to the site in case you want to try it from home.
