Students divided paper into four sections in three sections they placed the three branches of government. In the fourth section they were to ask three questions that they wanted to know about our government and one statement/opinion about our government.

Students were required to create a three piece puzzle from 9 x 12 construction paper, free form, put each branch on a different piece and label it with the branch name and who is in that branch and the responsibility of that branch. They were to include a drawing of the building in which the branch takes place. Then cut the puzzle apart but maintain the sections in relationship to each other. Glue it onto a larger sheet of construction paper and title it U.S. National Government Branches.

Experiment performed by students to determine that matter takes up space.
