🌍 Earthquake Engineering!🌎
Our 4th-grade scientists transformed into bridge builders this week, taking on Mother Nature's ultimate challenge! 🏗️ Armed with popsicle sticks, straws, construction paper, tape, and scissors, they constructed bridges that could stand up to simulated seismic waves.

Learning about Earth's powerful natural events became an adventure of creativity, problem-solving, and pure scientific fun! Who knew science could be this awesome? 🔬✨
