Which Shape is Strongest?

Our Grade One scientists recently tested a cylinder, a rectangular prism and a triangular prism to see which was the strongest. We piled chapter books on top of each paper shape to test them. Cylinder won - way to go Olivia for sticking with your prediction!



The scientists were then set a challenge: build a chair out of newspaper to support Ms. Damiano's weight. They used their knowledge from our test to build their chairs. The scientists were very proud of their accomplishments and very amused by the chairs that failed to support Ms. Damiano's weight!
