Protect the Popsicle

We enjoyed a special engineering project with Mr. Musselman from the Burlington Science Center today.  The students built shade structures to try to protect their popsicles from melting in the sun!  The project involved working in a small group to make a plan, build a structure, and test it out!  The students were very successful!  All four groups designed and built structures that kept their popsicles from melting as fast as the one left in the sun.  Please ask your child to describe the project and what he/she did to help protect the popsicle!
