Duct Tape Challenge

This week we have been participating in the Duct Tape Challenge.  Mrs. Lowe found out about it on Twitter.  It was our challenge to make things out of duct tape.

If you're on Twitter you can check out some of the things other classes did by searching #ducktapechallenge or #ducttapechallenge

Throughout the week we did experiments with different kinds of tape to see which was the strongest. We also tried using different types of tapes for jobs around the classroom.

We also watched a youtube video that taught us how to tear the duct tape off of the roll.

Today we worked with our grade 4/5 buddies to draw the design we were going to make. Then we made our designs with paper and duct tape. We had to work together with our buddies.
