We are going to try to do the same activitiy next week with the Trinity 5th graders so they can compare results with their Guan Ai penpals! We won't show them your photos until the end so they can't copy. Having a teacher sit on the structure will be real challenging- especially if it's me (I may find someone who is lighter!) We'll let you know how it goes. Thank you so much for this great idea and the complete write-up. Wonderful!

Ting Zhou taught something similar in Hebei Yixian during VP06 - one class about building bridges and one about building towers. Quite impressive that two of the students' structures could hold a person's weight. Very nice!
