Next week, the students are invited to bring in materials from home as we will be in the beginning stages of building a purposeful structure for Mrs. Smith's hamster Birch.
The students may work with a partner or create and build their structure independently.
The structure will need to have a purpose (e.g., maze for Birch, playground for Birch, elevator for Birch, etc.) and will need to be a stable structure that can hold a load (a little heavier than Birch e.g, the weight of a small bean bag). The structure will also need to withstand a force such as wind, pushing motion or pulling motion and remain stable (not falling over).

In the next week and a half the students will also be writing a short Science Quiz pertaining to our Structures Unit.
