Each group needs (give groups unlimited access to each, but they will not be using all materials at once. These are suggestions):

• A variety of materials for students to build their structure with:
• cardboard
• construction paper
• felt
• toilet paper or paper towel rolls
• a variety of consumable recycled materials
• different kinds of tape (Scotch, duct, painters)
• glue
• Popsicle sticks
• a ruler
• Design a Structure Worksheet

For the entire class to share:

• poster paper
• markers
• a circular medal (preferably similar in size to the Nobel Prize—about 200 g and a diameter of 66 mm) or an item that will serve as a proxy: a roll of coins, a small weight, etc.
