Such a fun #STEM activity... Seriously, Science/Technology/Engineering/Math all in one... Plus they had to work in groups so it fostered communication, collaboration, critical thinking, creation, and creativity!
They started their igloos base by making little bricks from cups.
As the igloos got bigger, having made the bricks level and smooth became important
Then they got creative using rocks, sticks, and branches to stylize their creations.
They wondered how to make the top and learned to reinforce the sides and slowly tilt the higher bricks in to make it smaller. Some groups elected to make flat roofs by smooshing flat pieces. One group decided to just use the tree branches for the roof.
Documented it using ipads
