Boxes and Sticks Inquiry

We have started a new inquiry called Boxes and Sticks.

Our inquiry began with a pile of branches and boxes.  The branches were collected from a recent nature walk.  The boxes were found in the hallway when Ms. Johnston (our creative and funny neighbour) moved into her new classroom across the hall.

Our inquiry question is… What can we make with these boxes and sticks?

Before we can build anything we need to explore the materials we will be using.  Here are some pictures of the students investigating boxes and sticks. 

"Look! This box opens."

"This box looks like a present"

"I think this box is bigger than me!"

Our next step is to decide on something to build and construct with all the boxes and sticks.  Stay tuned for more posts on our box and stick inquiry.
