Tuesday came quickly. I hope you had a nice weekend despite the wind. I bet you are wondering what the title means. Well, if you were in our science class today you would have been designing the perfect baby bottle. You see, we have been talking about how structures need to be stable much like that bridge we talked about earlier. To have a stable structure, we need a wide base. The taller the structure, the wider the base. The base also needs a lot of weight. One of the examples we looked at today on Google Earth was the Eiffel Tower.

Once we learned what made a structure stable, students were challenged to design a baby bottle that was almost impossible to tip over. The students are creating some very interesting designs.

The students have a quiz tomorrow in Social as we are done our look at safe and caring communities and rights and responsibilities. A good discussion to have with your child could be to talk about all the places your family have visited in BC and what made each community different from each other.
