Rose Drive Elementary School first graders have been studying the three states of matter, and were recently invited to participate in an exciting STEAM (science, technology, engineering, arts and mathematics) activity, which could not have been timed more perfectly. With a strong focus on the properties of solids, students were provided with a variety of solid materials to build the tallest tower that could stand on its own. Presley is pictured below presenting the winning 24-inch tower to the class. Not only were students presented with pictures and interesting information about famous towers, such as the Eiffel Tower and the Leaning Tower of Pisa, they also got to learn about the work of engineers and architects. Fascinating AND educational!
