Introduction

Large items are often built from smaller items that were disassembled from something else. In this lesson, students will learn about the famous artist Simon Rodia, who constructed the Watts Towers. They will use a makerspace or a collection of recyclables to create their own new object.

Learning Objectives

2-PS1-3. Make observations to construct an evidence-based account of how an object made of a small set of pieces can be disassembled and made into a new object.
