Super Structures

John came to Hoon Hay School from Science Alive to teach us about structures. First we looked at a variety of photos of structures from around the world such as the Canterbury Castle, Eiffel Tower, Big Ben, Leaning Tower of Pisa and a windmill. We talked about how the structures were made and how stable and strong they are. We also talked about foundations so the structures are safe.
We then used teamwork, by working in groups, to read and complete our structure challenge. Take a look at our photos - you will see the instructions for the variety of challenges and how we worked as teams to build our super structures! We thought it was AWESOME and INCREDIBLE because we got to choose our own cards (challenges) and we talked a lot about our ideas before we got started. The creating and building was so much fun!
We did find it a little stressful at times because we were on a time limit to create our super structures. It was a good challenge for us. We felt proud of the way we worked in teams and with our finished product.
