# data[].attributes.body
Objectives

S (Science): explore balance, gravity, and stability by experimenting with how different base shapes support a tall structure.

T (Technology): Use blocks (wooden unit blocks, foam blocks, or interlocking plastic bricks) OR alternative household items (empty cardboard boxes, plastic cups, or paper towel rolls) to build the tower.

E (Engineering): Follow every step to build the towel.

A (Art): Children will creatively design and construct their own unique tower structures through hands-on play.

M (Math): Children will practice counting blocks or materials and comparing heights (tall vs. short, taller vs. shorter).

Lesson Procedure

1. Introduction & Curiosity Hook (5 Minutes)

Gather children in a circle and show them a tall picture book or a toy building. Ask: Who has ever stacked blocks before? What happens when a tower gets too wiggly?

Introduce the core concept simply: "To make a tower super tall, we need a strong, wide belly (base) so it doesn't fall down!"

2. Free Exploration & Building (15 Minutes)

Give children time to freely stack their materials and attempt to build the tallest tower possible.

Circulate the room and use guiding questions:

Is your base wider than the top?

What happens if you put the heaviest block at the very top?

Encourage collaboration if working in small groups.

3. Testing & Height Comparison (10 Minutes)

Invite everyone to take a step back and admire their creations.

Use a piece of yarn or a ruler to measure the height of each tower together, practicing counting numbers aloud as you measure.

Celebrate all creations, focusing on the problem-solving strategies children used when a tower wobbled.

4. Wrap-Up & Reflection (5 Minutes)

Ask children simple wrap-up questions:

What shape helped your tower stand up straight?

What did you do when your tower fell over?

Assessment & Extension

Formative Assessment: Observe children's hand-eye coordination, ability to balance objects, and how they respond to structural collapses (resilience and trial-and-error).

Extension Activity: Add a playful design constraint, such as challenging children to build a tower tall enough to hide a small toy figure underneath.

# data[].attributes.body
🎯 1. Objectives

S (Science): Discover how air holds up objects and helps them glide (thrust and lift).

T (Technology): Use basic tools (paper, markers, stickers) to construct a flying model.

E (Engineering): Follow a step-by-step folding process to build a balanced plane.

A (Art): Customize the plane with creative colors, patterns, and symbols.

M (Math): Compare folded shapes (triangles and rectangles) and measure flight distances (far vs. short).

📝 2. Procedure

Step 1: Spark Curiosity

Show a plain sheet of paper and ask: "Can this paper fly on its own? How can we transform it into a flyer?"

Step 2: Fold & Decorate (Build)

1. Design : Color and draw patterns on the A4 paper before folding.

2. Fold :

Fold the paper in half lengthwise to find the middle line of symmetry.

Fold the top two corners in to make a sharp triangle point.

Fold the sides down to create two equal wings.

3. Smooth : Press and smooth all edges firmly so the plane stays aerodynamic.

Step 3: Test Flight & Race

Take the children to an open space. Count down together: "3... 2... 1... Launch!"

Experiment: Challenge them to throw gently vs. hard, or adjust the wing folds to see which plane flies the farthest.

🏆 3. Expected Results

Product: Each child creates a personalized, fully functional paper airplane.

Skills: Improved fine motor skills (folding/creasing), basic spatial awareness, and hands-on understanding of distance and air movement.

Fun Factor: High excitement and active engagement through interactive flight testing and friendly distance races!
