A Slippery Slope (Don't Fall!)
The lesson is primarily about building a Lego or any block tower with a good foundation. This can be done in a group of 5 - 7 students. In my case I am considering 7th and 8th grade class to perform the activity as this requires solving angles of slope. The title of the lesson is " Slippery Slope, Don't Fall". The lesson activity is divided into introduction - where giving information on the tallest building in the world and getting to know about Geotechnical Engineers and their work. The second part is building a slope and testing the tower. Finally, recording the data of how strong the tower by making 1 block depth and 2 blocks depth. Checking the data and solving the angle of slopes to better build a strong tower are really important in this lesson.
