Hope Elementary second graders participated in a Mystery Science Material Magic unit in December! Students examined how large structures like houses are built from smaller pieces. In the activity, students worked together to design structures using an unconventional building material: paper! Students built towers, using 3 x 5“ index cards and paper clips. First, they built tall towers, then challenged themselves to build towers, strong enough to support a hardcover book.
