Gravity Glue rock sculpture

Challenge:  How many rocks can you balance, using only Gravity?

Step 1: Collect a variety of rocks, different sizes and shapes.

Step 2:  Stack the rocks on top of each other so that they create a sculpture and are balancing using only gravity glue.  This is easier than it sounds.

 Technology extension- Take a picture of each time you successfully add a rock to your sculpture. Once complete, you can make a photo collage and send it to our KSE Facebook page. We’d love to see them!!

Math extension-  Measure the dimensions (HxW) of your sculpture using a measuring tape.  You can also estimate how many rocks you think you can balance.

Literacy extension-  Describe an area (fictional or non-fictional) where you would see your rock sculpture and what would it be used for.  Ex, a house, a table, an amusement park ride or could it be a town on planet Mars.

You can get some really good ideas on how to do this by watching the artist, Michael Grab’s video on You Tube.
