Design process

As part of their research project, students have chosen a structure from their country and will be asked to build a replica next week. This structure must be stable, movable, appealing to the eye, and buildable in class.

Students will be bringing home a green paper indicating the structure that their group has chosen as well as materials that their group has decided on. Here are a list of possible materials:
- Lego
- popsicle sticks
- straws
- cardboard
- recycled every day items
- string
- aluminum foil
- styrofoam
- toothpicks
- stirsticks
- etc.

Glue, clay, paint, and scissors will all be provided at school.

**ANY STUDENTS WISHING TO BRING IN A HOT GLUE GUN MUST HAVE A PARENT SEND ME AN EMAIL OR NOTE AHEAD OF TIME. ONLY MYSELF OR ANOTHER ADULT WILL BE ALLOWED TO USE IT.

All materials are due on Tuesday, February 23rd, as this will be the first of three days provided for construction.

Given that this project will involve more elaborate construction, any volunteers are welcome.

Thank you in advance! Please let me know if you have any questions!
Mme. Buchanan
