St. James Students Explore Strong and Stable Structures with Let’s Talk Science 🚀

On December 3rd, students from Mme Ranich and Mrs. Slonina’s classes at St. James Catholic School took part in an exciting and educational hands-on activity as part of their science lessons. With the support of Let’s Talk Science, the students explored the concept of strong and stable structures.

The students were tasked with designing and building their own bridges using toothpicks and marshmallows. Once their structures were complete, they tested their bridges’ stability by hanging pennies in a cup, a fun challenge that helped them understand the importance of balance and strength in design.

The activity concluded with a round of applause for Group 4, who successfully supported an impressive 49 pennies on their bridge, demonstrating exceptional skill and teamwork.

St. James Catholic School would like to thank Let’s Talk Science for this engaging and educational experience that helped students learn about the principles of engineering and structural integrity in a hands-on and fun way.
