The goal for this third grade classroom was to design astructure that couldsupport as much weight aspossible. The students scavenged the classroom forcraft and scrap materials to build the frameworks you

see here. They then planned out their structures andbuilt away. So far - in the middle of the testing process- some of the structures haven't broken yet with 38pounds of sand on them!
