Students will understand the basic concepts of magnets and magnetic interactions. Students will be able to apply their knowledge to create and solve simple design problems using Magna-Tiles. Students
Students will build a bridge out of toothpicks or craft sticks by using gum drops, marshmallows, and/or wood glue. The purpose is to have it stay upright between two chairs without breaking. Students
This is part 3 of a unit. This lesson focuses on building the base for the ferris wheel. Students are encouraged to design and create a base that is wide enough to hold their wheel and tall enough to
