![]() A good tower design will typically involve a broad base (to prevent tipping) and strong shapes, like triangles. Some of how they do that is picking the right materials (hint, not toothpicks and gumdropsJ), but much of what makes a building stand is in how those materials are connected. For instance, urge them to build a tower strong enough to hold something, like a book.Įnginee rs have to design buildings that can resist the force of gravity and withstand foul weather, earthquakes and time. For kids that find this really simple, add an extra challenge. This one can be differentiated for different ages and abilities. In the picture below, Anna builds her tower while her grandpa (an actual engineer) looks on. This is a great activity to do with friends, but involving family can be fun too. It’s important to remind them that failure is part of learning, especially in science! And if they get a bit distracted and want to create pictures with the candies or try something else, why not let them? Bea and Lauris (pictured below) enjoyed having friends over and collaborating together.Įncourage kids to try again if their first design is not successful. In the home setting, it might be best to encourage kids to work together as a team. Make sure that if they’re competing that each team has the exact same supplies and amount of each. ![]() Some kids will do better in a competitive setting, but some shut down. If working with multiple groups of kids (as in a classroom), decide whether or not you want to set this up as a competition. Gumdrops (DOTS were the easiest for me to find).SUPPLIES NEEDED: Westview 2nd graders got a taste of engineering with this tower-building activity THE MYSTERY: What’s the tallest tower you can build using only gumdrops and toothpicks?
