Understand that different properties are used for different purposes.
Equipment:

Science - Easter Tower
Create
We are going to design and create a structure that can hold up an Easter egg.
Think about the properties of the tooth picks, paper and playdoh
Engineers make concept drawings. We are going to sketch our ideas/ concepts so we can have a representation that we can use to try out our ideas.
Trial the design. Does it work? Why? Why not? What adjustments do they need to make? Try it? If it doesn’t work then start the process again with a new design.
Create and Share
Choose a DLO to share your learning. (Screen castify video, Slide, Doc, Drawing)
Your DLO should include:
1. Pictures of your structure throughout the process.
2. You must explain why your structure was successful OR unsuccessful.
3. Explain what failures you had? How did you improve the design?
