Building Bridges
Learning Goal: Using 10 linking cubes and 4 craft sticks and were told to make a bridge.
This was an open activity that the students taught each other many unexpected skills.
There were many creative ways they came up with individually to make a bridge.
They also demonstrated great teamwork by coming together to make one very long bridge with all of the materials.
