Your task is to describe/plan/draw what you will build to help Frosty. Be sure to look at the building materials that are available. Note: you do not need to use everything you have available to you. However, take a look at Frosty. It needs to be sturdy enough to carry him to his destination!

Here are some of the finished products!

The day finally arrived for Frosty⛄, along with his brother Fred⛄, to make their get-away from this somewhat warm weather! Students were able to test the stability of their basket to see if the snowmen survived their zipline adventure to the North Pole. Things began a bit shaky for Fred as he had a few mishaps on his adventure. However, after emergency surgery, Fred was able to ride the wire with no problem! Happily, EVERY group build a basket that successfully carried our snowmen!

After that part of the experiment, Miss Hunt and Mrs. Pettit timed each team to see how was able to carry Frosty or Fred to the bottom of the zipline the fastest, and there were some really impressive times! Ultimately, the fastest team was Pierce M.M. and Zilly S. with a time of 0.91 seconds! Congratulations to everyone for doing such an awesome job!
