| In science, we have been talking about the properties of matter. We learned about an architect and engineer named Simon Rodia who looked closely at the properties of shapes and different materials in order to create his strong and stable Watts Towers. The kids tested out some designs of different shapes and discovered that the properties of a triangle prove to be the strongest shape. |
 |
| The kids each built a tower with the goal of it being strong and sturdy enough to withstand high winds from the blast of a fan. It was fun to watch them apply what they learned from Simon Rodia into their own structures. |
