studentsused the prescribed sequence below:1. Build a cube using BBs a. Students are asked to build a specified cube structure using solid materials (BBs) that lack an adhesive property or binding agent, within a given time constraint. b. The immediate learning outcome from this activity is that BBs, which will later be identified as a proxy for neutrons, lack sufficient force properties to create nuclear structures alone.2. Build a cube using bar magnets a. Students are asked to build a specified cube structure using bar magnets, as shown in Figure 3, within a given time constraint.
