Jack's Beanstalk

Who: Mrs. Blades' Class
Standard: Structure/Function: Exploring Design

     Mrs. Blades' class has been busy role-playing the part of an engineer.  We have learned that everything around us not made by nature was made by humans and was created for a specific purpose. For this activity, we read the book Jack and the Beanstalk. Students' then worked in small groups to create and design a beanstalk using only 10 pipe cleaners.  Beanstalks were then evaluated for their height and strength. Students had a great time engaging in this activity and what fun it was to watch and listen to their ideas!
