9. “Build It Up, and Break It Down!” You’re going to be civil engineers for the day! Instead of steel and concrete you’ll be using toothpicks and gumdrops!

10. “Build It Up, and Break It Down!” Structure Requirements Our Gumdrop Forts must be between 10” – 12” tall and our foundations must fit within the confines of a paper plate Hint:

11. “Build It Up, and Break It Down!” Did you say fort?! We’re building up our forts and then we’ll be breaking down our opponents forts with a projectile! We’ll be slinging gumdrops at our opponents structures via our home made catapults to see who’s designs are the strongest!

12. “Build It Up, and Break It Down!” Here’s how we’ll be constructing our catapults! Step 1…

14. “Build It Up, and Break It Down!” Step 3

15. “Build It Up, and Break It Down!” Step 4

16. “Build It Up, and Break It Down!” Step 5

17. “Build It Up, and Break It Down!” We’ll be working in teams of two! Find a partner and get to work! Each group will create one fort and one catapult! When time is up the groups will partner up with another group and compete (by firing gumdrops) to see who’s fort design is the strongest!
