observationClass Experience
In this fun and engaging brick building class, students will show off their creative building skills while learning about the anatomy of a brick and building a strong car to race down a ramp for our Demolition Derby. Students will interact with my PowerPoint presentation while learning about the anatomy of a brick (2x4, 1x3, 1x12, etc.). They will build a car that is strong enough to race down a ramp and smash it into a barrier without breaking the car.
