Jack's Beanstalk

Kindergarten students in Mrs. Butler’s class explored the meaning of structure and function.   After reading Jack and the Beanstalk, we brainstorm how we could make a beanstalk, only using 10 pipe cleaners.  The students really thought about what is needed for something to stand up ( a flat bottom!) The students were actively engaged with their classmates. I truly enjoyed listening to their ideas and how each idea needed to be revamp to make the structure serve the purpose.   The ending results were truly something to stand up about!!! The students enjoyed exploring structure and function through hands on activities!  Future scientist in the making!
