After learning how to take care of the Earth, we made pictures of it! This lovely student wanted to draw a comparison of a good and bad Earth. One side is bright and colourful, and the other is broken and polluted. Awesome job L! ππ²@WillGillettAcad@NLESDCA
Learning how to balance different weight calls for a challenge: what can you balance on one centre block? Then we changed up our structures for more experimenting! βοΈ
Another challenge was to not bump into the tableπ
