Protect the Popsicle Engineering Challenge

  Last week we started our science unit on water. We are learning about the states of water, liquid, solid and gas. We read Hey, Water and we did an experiment of ice in the sun and shade. and on Thursday morning the kindergartners worked with their 4th grade partners to discuss, plan and build a shade structure to protect the popsicle. On Thursday afternoon, we tested out our structures. It took about 14 minutes for the control freeze pop to completely melt. We then took the freeze pops out of the structures and measured how much of the freeze pop melted. The students enjoyed eating their own freeze pop while the control pop melted in the sun. Then we went over all the results We had a successful challenge! Great job everyone!


The winners were:

1st place- Eva, Mia, Sophia, Fatima & Daviana

2nd place- Kaesure, Lincoln, Mason & Ansh

3rd place- Patrick, Colin, Henry, Laura, Mark & Zeyaan
