The strongest structure...

 We did a shape test. We tryed the triangular prism. It held 14 marbles,then we  tryed the rectangular prism it held all of them.  The cylinder  too held all of them. So next we tried using books. The rectangular prism held 18 books. The triangular prism held only 9. The cylander held 33 before it crumbled. So the cylander is the strongest shape!   Quinton & Jayden

First Class Post

Hello! We are very excited to share our news on this blog. We have been learning about India. India has a very large population. They throw out far less trash than we do. Their weather is much warmer than ours and they only get snow in the Himalayan mountains.  We played the "Paper Bag Game" to see what being poor is like. 

Yesterday we were looking for rectangular prisms, cylinders, and triangular prisms. Today we will test these shapes to see which one is the strongest! Stay tuned for more exciting information!
