On Wednesday, the Grade 3’s visited the Ontario Science Center. We investigated balance, stability, shape, materials and the function of structures. We performed experiments with compression, tension and load. Our students were able to design and build bridges, towers and arches using various materials, and then test their structural limits. We learned that structures can be constructed by people or nature. See if you can sort the following structures into these categories: beehive, chair, tree, spider web, table, house, skyscraper, beaver dam, and bridge. Can you add more to this list?
