Why Does My Tower Fall?

Backpack Science is an innovative, integrated learning tool that uses inquiry-based activities to build links between science, math and language arts.

Students will love using the colorful gizmos contained in this clear plastic backpack for hands-on explorations of different types of shapes, structures and building materials. There are 4 lesson plans provided.

The backpack also contains instruction cards for 12 other activities which can be done in centers in the classroom or as take-home projects. For example, kids can build towers, bridges and other structures, construct shapes from fun materials like papier- mache and clay, and more!

Also included is the book "The Three Little Pigs", which provides an excellent accompaniment to the inquiry-based activities. Developed by teachers Jo-Anne Lake and Michelle Goslin.
