Lets get inventing!

We have been busy learning about inventions. Yesterday we talked about the process inventors go through when the create something. We thought the process might look a little something like this:
1. Make a plan
2. Get the resources
3. Try and make it
4. Test it
5. Reflect and make changes
6. Make it again
7. Test it

Mrs Filipo gave us an inventors challenge today. We had to make the tallest "something" that could stand all by itself. We were only allowed three sheets of paper and three pieces of cellotape. We had to follow the inventors process. First we planned, then we got the resources and then we made it. Later this week we are going to make changes and see if we can make it better.
Here are some of the photos:

  2. First we made a plan,Alia decided to make it higher than Mrs.Filipo.I decided to make it fat and tall but then the time was up. We had to put it on the mat and see whose invention id the tallest and whose can stay up.Alia and I were so scared that we might lose and we did lose.We will make it better next time.
