Sinai Scientists in Ms. Francis's third grade class recently showcased their creativity by building habitats and adaptations using Lego blocks. The students designed a variety of structures, including igloos, spider webs, and camouflaged shelters to protect animals. They also built nests for lost birds and even created an ice slide to help penguins slide down a hill. Working together, the students enjoyed the collaborative process of bringing their imaginative designs to life.
