For this challenge, you will be creating a basketball hoop with any materials in your home. Remember, this involves being creative with the things that you normally would not use to create a basketball hoop. You can create a fully functioning basketball court that you can throw a paper ball or a small ball into. Can't wait to see what you guys come up with!
Okay, today we will be building a fort. Make sure to ask your parents for permission before you begin.
I want you to build a fort that includes different sections. Use your imagination! The fort can be your own kingdom where you can play dragons! You can rescue them from a wicked wicked gremlin. You can use any of your stuffed animals or toys to be the characters or you could be the wicked wicked gremlin. You can also play with your family members, if they are willing to play with you. You have to find a way into your fort to rescue your dragons and take them away and free them from the gremlin. Remember using imagination goes very far and will help the time go by quickly!

Notes
It may take a couple hours so be patient
The water moves up the paper towels through a process called capillary action
The gaps in the paper towel act like capillary tubes and which help pull the water upward
This is what helps water climb from a plant’s roots to the leaves at the top of the plant or tree.
