Mad Hatter Activity!

 During science this week we explored material properties and participated in a"Mad Hatter" engineering task.  We pretended that we were stranded on an island and needed to create a comfortable hat that would protect us from the sun and absorb sweat.  Each child was given certain materials that he/she tested for comfort, stiffness, and if it was water proof. The students were then asked to create a hat with these materials. Check out the photos below of the great hats they made!
