Providing provocation

In an emergent curriculum we never know just where a day will take us. On this occasion Joel was eager to Google search rockets, develop a plan and proceed to build one. Having had lots of experience making things with large pieces of cardboard Joel just knew where he wanted to start ... with lots of cardboard and cellotape. Just a smidgen of help was needed to keep it in a circle while the cellotape was applied. Within a short time a group of interested onlookers had formed, asking questions about how they could make one too. The discussion led to the construction of a second rocket. There was just one problem ... where were they going to get the fire from? Trudi led the boys on a tour of the resources to find a suitable medium. Finally, red paper was decided upon and attached to the bottom of the rocket. I wonder what additions and modifications will be made on Monday? Joel, thank you for sharing your ideas.
