Using wrap-ups to add +2 equations
Using cubes to go from wall to wall in the classroom. It was over 400 cubes.
Science - We have been working out of our Einstein Kit called Solids and Liquids. We are currently doing experiments with the properties of solids. We sorted the solids by color and shape. We tested which solids would roll and which solids would stack. We then took the solids that rolled and tested which one rolled furthest and which one rolled best. We built a ramp with books and a ruler.
Figuring out how to get the balls to stack
