This week have a go at our Stick Stack challenge. It’s a fun way to explore tension (stretching force) and compression (pushing force). Take a look at the video below and the resource sheet in the sidebar for a template and instructions.
For this activity you will need:
- Wooden tongue depressors or lollipop sticks
- Something heavy, like a paper weight
- A large space and a flat surface
How long can you make your Stick Stack?
