Classroom Close-Up
“Adrianna and Malik had cardboard walls that leaned badly. “We gotta make strong walls or they won’t hold up a roof!” Malik explained. “Let’s add more cardboard,” Adrianna suggested. So they taped on more, but the walls leaned even more. They removed the additional cardboard and suddenly, Malik spied the cardboard tubes. “What if we use cylinders?” he asked. The two scampered off to test their idea and it worked pretty well. “Look,” Adrianna said, “we’ve got little columns on our house!”
