Re-building Noah’s Ark

After our extensive exploration of the Parashat Bereshit, we dove into the story of Noah and the ark. Following the telling of the story, the yelladim were challenged to build their own teavot using a sheet of tin foil.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

When all of the arks were built, we tested them in water with plastic animals to see how many chaiyot they could hold. This experiment provided an excellent opportunity to practice counting in Hebrew and we even had some models that held 100 animals! When the arks sunk, we discussed ways to improve the design in order to save even more chaiyot from the flood.
