Today we did some building and experiments with pillars. Students were presented with a testable question: Which shape of pillar would support the most weight? After some discussion about the purpose of pillars and where we might find them, students began building a cylinder-shaped, triangular-shaped, and rectangular-shaped pillar. Students then began placing books on top of each pillar to see which held the most books. Then, students were able to weigh those books.
