Measuring and Comparing the Length and Height of Block Structures

Devin and Luca M. built structures using blocks. They estimated that Devin`s structure was higher. After using blocks to measure both structures, they discovered that Devin`s structure was taller.

Annamaria and Alexandra built a structure. They both estimated that it would take 100 cubes to measure the length of their structure. They had fun practising counting the cubes.

We challenged James, Badri, Antonio and Sean to build the tallest structure that they could using the foam blocks. Sean`s structure kept falling down so James and Antonio suggested that he build a base first. James used his body to measure the height of the structures. They discovered that Antonio had built the tallest structure.

All about bees:

During our inquiry on flowers, Quinn asked the question "How do bees make honey?" Adam and Tara shared with their peers what they knew about bees. We also read books to help the students gain more information about bees.

Here are what Adam, Tara, Christopher, Jevon and Siena talking about bees. Click the link below.
