Today we worked on a lesson from our "Balancing and Weighing" unit in science. I told the kids all about the man Alexander Calder who invented mobiles (like the ones in baby cribs). I showed them pictures of his HUGE mobiles that are hanging in museums in New York. I gave them 4 objects - paper clips, straws, construction paper and tape and asked them to create a unique mobile that balanced.
