Upcycling Challenge
Upcycling is the act of taking an object or materials that you would throw away after use, and using it to create something useful and new. It's a great way to reduce waste and pollution! Watch this amazing "Recycle Mall" video www.youtube.com/watch?v=id9I9o6yxC8&fbclid=IwAR2cpGFc3dgvNvzUDsnnwMqxyFp8RcymI75ABZes8CwKrC5ywWUfpt4MGGM Your challenge this week: Look around your house for things that are broken or that you are no longer using. Create something useful and new with this object! **Send me your photos of your creation! I can't wait to see what you create! Egg Drop Challenge Objective: Design a system to protect an egg from cracking or breaking from a high fall. Materials: Use anything you'd like! Some ideas include: paper towels, straws, tape, cardboard tubes, paper, popsicle sticks, baggies or old boxes. Steps: 1. Create something that will protect your egg. 2. Choose a place inside/outside that you can drop your egg from. 3. If the egg cracks or breaks during its fall, revise your design and try again. 4. Send Ms. Poirier some pictures of your designs. I would love to see what you have created. 5. Have fun :) CRAZY CONTRAPTION CHALLENGE!!!
