| Comment: | Very interesting tool! The students find it very exciting, even though they have a hard time understanding why the solid defying gravity work and are allowed. |

| Comment: | Cool tool and lots of fun; I will definitely include this tool in my box (I do agree with gatita about gravity! A line in the instructions that blocks do not have to be built on blocks would be good.) |

| Comment: | I enjoyed this activity. I think it may be difficult for the students to conceptulize the idea at first, but eventually they will enjoy the lesson. |

| Comment: | Such fun! And what a great way for kids to learn top, front, side views! I will show this on my promethian board and have students work in groups, using actual blocks. We'll check the solution with the active board. |
