2nd graders design and build dams

We learned about alternative energy sources and then we got to work building a dam for this engineering challenge.  The students were given clay and 10 popsicle sticks.  The goal was to build a dam that could hold water on one side of the box.  A couple of teams were able to build it strong enough the first time, but most teams had to redesign.  Some teams had to redesign a lot because their dam was super complicated. They challenged themselves to do something that was a little harder than what they thought they could do.  Way to go, Second Grade!
