This morning Mr. Musselman from the Burlington Science Center came to assist the kindergartners in collaborating to build their groups shade structure. The kindergarten groups spent about an hour constructing their structures. We finished with the construction in an hour and then we went back to our classroom and talked about how the structures were made. Our next step was to test our structures. It took about 12 minutes for the control freezepop to completely melt. We then took the freezepops out of the structures and measured how much of the freezepop melted. The students had an extra recess while we all waited for the control pop to melt. Then when we were going over the results the students were able to eat their own freezepop.

Here are our results. Matthew, Dominic and Connor's structure protected the freezepop the BEST!
Great job Room 101!
