Kia Ora/Hello!
Today for our activity we have to try and balance any object into a stack like rocks, pebble and books. I choose books because I thought they might balance better! I enjoyed this activity because it was really fun to stack them and see how many I could get stacked on top, the highest was 10 but when I tried to add another it kind of collapsed! I found nothing hard about this activity because it was pretty easy and straightforward. I debated on doing either stones or books but then I thought books might be easier to stack because they are more in a square shape other than rocks which are all different shapes and sizes.
I didn't really have any other books so I had to stick with what I had, I liked this activity because it's so much fun and anyone can do it at home with anything but what you gotta think about is . . What else can you stack and make a tower with at home? Maybe at home you can experiment with some other stuff and try to stack them. Here is my google drawing!
Kia ora Manvi,

What a great tower! I agree, books are good for stacking and things of different shapes like rocks are harder!
I had to stop and think to answer your question of what can be stacked at home but I have come up with:
- Cushions
- Folded clothes
- Shoes (with some difficulty!)
Can you think of anything else?
Keep up the great work!

Kia Ora Charlotte,
DeleteThank you for commenting on my blog.
I definitely think books are great for stacking and I'm glad you agree! I also agree with you, cushions, folded clothes and shoes can definitely work but the shoes may have to work with some effort and perseverance!
I thought of:
Boxes,
Newspapers,
Magazines (Maybe or Maybe not!),
Wood.
Have you made a tower like the one we made today?
Ma Te Wa,
Manvi.
Kia ora Manvi,
ReplyDeleteI agree - I would probably need more patience to do it with shoes!
Those are great ideas! I think magazines would work, although they may have to be placed alternating as I think the spine sticks out a tiny bit.
I definitely have! Usually when I'm folding laundry I will see how high I can pile the clothes (I will do anything to make laundry fun!). I have also used building blocks to make towers when I was younger.
Have you tried to make a tower of stacked things before?
Ngā mihi,
Charlotte
