Now that the children have had several opportunities to experiment with sink and float they will be offered an opportunity to build something using various materials. The criteria for what they build is the following:

1. It must float for at least 10 seconds.
2. It must hold a load of at least 15 pennies.
3. It must hold one cookie, without the cookie getting wet.
4. It must be build with at least two different materials.

I am sure this will be a fun experience for the children and for me.

Last week the children used pine cones, wow peanut butter (there are no peanuts in it at all) and bird seed to make bird feeders for the birds. They are hanging at the front just outside Mrs. Haddock's office window. She can hardly wait for the birds to come and visit her.
