2017 SRP - week 2

Our theme Build a Better World leaves us with many options. We chose for week two to focus on a physical building challenge. Construct a structure using marshmallows, toothpicks and straws.

A lot less prep this week. Rebecca separated our supplies into equal parts for every team. We wrapped our Louis L'Amour titles in waxed paper to provide equal bases for structures.

Each team was challenged to build a structure spanning from one stack of Louis L'Amour to another.

Our only problem was running out of time when a structure refused to collapse during our weight test. We ran out of rubber aliens and legos to weigh down the egg carton.

We had intended to give the children time to 'free build' from their own imaginations. We sent them home with a punching balloon printed to look like a globe.
