Testing Building Materials

Dear families,

In Room 10 and 11, we have been learning about the water crisis in the four countries we're studying: Peru, Tunisia, Ukraine and India. We are putting on our engineering/science hats and using the engineering design process to solve one of these problems. After spring break, we will begin testing building materials and their effectiveness and strength so we know what to include in our designs and prototypes.

We need YOUR help!

Please help us collect materials to test and build with. We are looking for the following items:

• Aluminum Foil
• Fabric/Cloth
• Plastic Cups/Bottles
• Yarn/String
• Pipe Cleaners
• Straws
• Cardboard
• Twist Ties
• Rubber bands
• Tissue Paper
• Wax Paper
• Sticks
• Foam
• Cheesecloth
• Sand
• Rocks
• Clay/Plasticine

Thanks for your ongoing support in our learning! Have a great spring break!
