I wanted to update everyone on what we have been doing in IC. We just finished our unit on structures and forces. Our kids learned about the different types of forces...push and pull. We also talked about tension and compression in structures. We used these ideas to build roller coasters. The kids worked in groups of 3-4 and could only use cardboard and tape to make a roller coaster for a marble. They did an amazing job and worked had as teams for a week.
Here's a few pictures of the construction process...
Here are they awesome creations!
You make 1 giant roller coaster from them!
