I wonder what happens at the end?
Science Investigation one
This week you will become an architect, someone who can apply science and technology to the real world by designing buildings that enhance our standard of living and improve our quality of life. They do this by combining building systems – structural, electrical, mechanical, lighting, acoustics and fire protection - into an integrated whole.
To be an Arctitect you will practice your maths skills, science, computer science (particularly 3D modeling and linear programming) and art (such as drawing and art history).

TEAMs Meeting at 10am - Come and join in our class experiment
Wednesday 3rd March
Task - Make a building using biscuits!!!!
Experiment
You will need:
Instructions
1 Make the edible cement by melting some small pieces of chocolate in a bowl on top of a pan of boiling water) or microwave. (An adult should do this.)
2 Use the melted chocolate like glue. When the chocolate goes hard, it will stick the biscuits together.
3 Make some edible biscuit buildings with multiple floors or even a roof! With chocolate stick biscuits you can build thin shapes. Pile up wafers like wooden blocks. Build a strong floor by sticking together two layers of rich tea biscuits. Construct strong posts by filling a biscuit hole with chococement and sticking in a round wafer. Thin crackers make good, strong roofs.
4 When you get bored, pretend to be a giant and eat your biscuit buildings
