Submarine Update

Yesterday the Pine friends continued their exploration on how to create a submarine out of a box. They first started drawing sketches of how it should look. 

"It needs to have windows!"
"We should make it yellow too."

"It also needs a telescope (periscope)."

Now that the drawing phase was complete, some friends wandered over to then build a submarine out of the blocks. They worked purposefully and explained the different parts as they worked. 

"We need to cut out a circle for it to be the telescope."

B, V, & E continued to work with one another and make compromises throughout their building in order to make the best version of a submarine as they could. 

The three finished building their submarine, but noticed something was missing. 

"It needs a propeller so it can move!"

How could they make a propeller? What does a propeller look like?

The kids got to work on some research about what a propeller looks like. 

"Well we need a propeller, but it has to go in the engine so it goes."

Pine friends worked in the tinkering room to create a propeller that spins just like real one!

"We need to keep the stick long so that way we can use it when we are sitting inside of the submarine."

The submarine plans are becoming finalized as the kids work through different challenges to create parts for the submarine. After break, we will continue to build a beautiful yellow submarine.
