Defend the Fort: Part 2


Defend the Fort Part 2: Defense Supplies

Each student was given a budget of $3,000 and costs of items to decide on a plan for defending our fort. Then the class voted on which plan would defend our fort the best. This plan would then be used to create our defense plan. 


Costs of the defense supplies


Our class created an attack plan on the Magnetists class using their map to determine where we would enter. These plans were evaluated to see which class was victorious.

Defend the Fort: Part 1

Defend the Fort: Civil War Cartography

Our class measured the sizes and shapes of all the major objects in our room to create a map of our classroom. This is our battle defense map. Students will use the map to design a defense strategy for our mock classroom invasion.
