Day 7...The day a stick broke

Ok so today was an interesting one. Science was really fun as the class was all marching around looking at materials we will be using to build with in  the future. While i was knee deep in plasticine one student came up to apologize for breaking a popsicle stick checking if it would bend. I told her it is a popsicle stick, what did you learn? Her response, "Wood is not as good as plastic, plastic can bend." While there is a lot more to learn on the properties of different materials I will break a ton of popsicle sticks to have more true learning moments. Meeting the parents tomorrow. Off to take the dog for a walk. Until tomorrow.
