John Lewis Childs School fifth graders in Patricia Olson’s class kicked off their Discovery Lab Bridge Unit on Sept. 15.
Students were challenged to create a bridge out of paper that would be strong enough to hold a toy car and then 100 bolts. They learned effective ways to fold the paper that would keep it sturdy.
The Discovery Lab, which is run by teacher Janice Hyland, aims to foster creativity, discovery, invention and imagination in K-6 students through STEAM lessons.
