In a #WatertownWay science lesson this week, these Schurz Tigers had to make a hat out of only four materials to keep their face out of the sun. They were “stuck” on an island and only had a paper plate, paper towel, brown paper bag, and tin foil to use. They also could use string, a clothespin & two clips. Wow - did their imaginations ever come alive?! Look at these cool hats they created from their materials!
