Wrecking Walls

After building our mini walls, engineers used a wrecking ball to destroy their wall!  This was to test whose was the strongest and sturdiest.  As engineers we also discuss why a wall might have failed and what we would do differently next time to improve our designs.

.Building Walls

Students have been engineering walls using various earth materials.  The goal was to observe and test properties of mortar to build a strong sturdy wall. We will using a "wrecking ball" tomorrow to see whose wall was the strongest!!
