The Power of 3: Three Branches of Government


GeoSTEM

Description

The United States formed a strong government
when it became a country more than 200 years ago.
The forefathers created a system of checks and
balances to ensure our government would function
with no one branch operating in disregard for the
other two. In this lesson students will determine the strongest
shape and then will build a model to symbolize and
remember our strong system of government.
