Today we participated in an inquiry-based science activity.  Our assignment was to build a wall out of Legos.  Our wall had to be 4" in height and strong enough or stable enough to withstand our teacher trying to knock it over by a flick of her finger.  We really had to use our brains and work together to figure out which design would work best.  Most of the walls were a success (after many attempts) but a few toppled down.  We are learning by doing and some of us will be the engineers of tomorrow.


Below is a quote that I love by Benjamin Franklin:

"Tell me and I forget, teach me and I remember, involve me and I learn."
