Who was Chaim Weizmann? A brilliant chemist, a true Zionist, and above all, the first President of the State of Israel! 6th grade students researched the life of Dr. Chaim Weizmann, his groundbreaking invention during World War I, his political contributions, the Weizmann Institute in Rehovot, and the fascinating connection between the lira, the shekel, and Chaim Weizmann himself. Finally, the students learned about the properties of fiber and the strength that comes from density, as they were challenged to build a bridge made of a bill between two glass cups, strong enough to hold a third cup on top! Many students rose to the challenge and discovered the secret to success! Categories (tags): AcademicsIsraelMiddle SchoolSTEAM
