Students naturally think about the properties of materials (color, size, and shape) that will best complete the challenge. They also take apart and rebuild to make their creation even better!

They will also keep your early finishers engaged in a thoughtful way.

There are worksheets at three different levels, so students can draw or photograph, write about, and/or measuring their creations. There is a cover page included in case you decide to make their pages into a book.

A tips and suggestions page is also included.
