Library Bench

Grade/Class: Grade 1 Science

Context: In Science, students learn about components of strong and stable structures.

Learning: Students engineered designs with specific purposes, creating a playground structure for entertainment and a library bench for a cozy reading spot. Each project began with students drafting a "blueprint," carefully considering the materials needed. The excitement continued as they moved to the construction phase, building the library bench and later crafting playgrounds using recycled materials. This hands-on experience fostered creativity, problem-solving, and practical application of scientific concepts, making the unit both educational and fun.
