Mrs. Klein's second graders completed a building challenge activity in science using assembly and disassembly. Students were directed to use building blocks to build a structured and sturdy wall. Students then evaluated each wall discussing strengths, weaknesses, and ways to improve. Students were allowed to disassemble their walls and reassemble them using the information gathered during evaluations. Second graders did a great job recognizing that in order for a wall to be sturdy and structured it has to have a strong base to support the weight and have well connected/cemented pieces!
