Lego Figure Tower!

Today we modified the well known "Marshmallow Tower" project by using a Lego figure instead of a marshmallow. The results were outstanding! First, we did a Visual Thinking Strategy of looking at a tower. Next, we went over some key vocabulary for building such as modify and structure. Students then were put into pairs and received their allotment for the activity.... a yard of tape, a rubber band, 30 spaghetti strings, and a Lego figure. Students did an amazing job building. The class high score was 27 inches! Once we were cleaned up, students wrote a reflection letter. Well done Champions!
