Smash Day~!!!! What science skills did I learned? How doesn it make me a better scientist?

The first science class of every month is SMASH DAY~! For science class, the best things that I like to do are first of course the Smash Day, and I also love to do experiments. For Smash Day we always have fun things. So far we had try playing building the same Lego as Mrs. Smith by communicating with people well and there are some rules, for example: the spy is the one who can look at the Lego that Mrs. Smith, but the spy couldn't speak. There are a communicator, and the communicator can speak, but the communicator can't see the Lego. The rest of the people will be building the Lego that communicator tell them to build. I was the spy of the game, and I don't know what to do at the beginning. Then I was being a critical thinker, I decide to draw on the table, and I know that our hands have heat and some dust, so if I draw on table, the table will marks on the table, so then the communicator in our group will understand it more. I think the science skill that I learned in here is to think outside the box- me drawing on the table. This skill help me to become a better scientist, because after that I realize that if a thing that is hotter met a thing that's hotter than the first thing, then there will be marks on the thing that is colder. This week we did a activity that's about building the tallest tower, and then see if it fell when Mrs. Smith put a 5g stuff or something on it. All we have are 5 piece of papers, 1 meter of tape, and 2 pairs of scissors. I thought it was pretty easy at the beginning, but I found out it is so hard, because I think if it's too tall, then it might fell. But then I found out that I can first use 4 papers to create the tower, and then the 1 piece of paper will be the flat place for the tower. I was worried about how to make the tower more tower, and then I figure out we could use scissors to make the tower taller, and it really works. At the end, we won, and we are so happy and proud of ourself. This makes me a better scientist, because I knew that anything from the material we can use and win the game. I love Smash Day!!! :D
