teams
of
5-7,
using any
method that is appropriate.
Ask the teams to select a
Team Leader.
- Give
this
Instruction
handout
to
each
Team
Leader:
- Build
a bridge using only the newspaper and masking tape.
- The
bridge must be strong enough to hold this jug (show the jug and let them check
the feel of it for weight).
- The
bridge must be high enough for the dishpan to pass underneath it.
-
The bridge must be free-standing; not attached
to the wall, a piece of furniture, a person or an article of clothing.
- Remind
them they will have 7 minutes for a planning session. Stop them after
the 7 minutes.
- Distribute
the newspaper and tape. They now have 8 minutes to construct their
bridge.
- Remind them of the "no talking"
rule for this 8 minutes.
- At
the end of 8 minutes, allow the groups 30 seconds to speak to each other and
then an additional 3 minutes of SILENT work to complete their bridge. During
this last work session, play your music selection.
- Call
time and have one group at a time present their bridge. A spokesperson from
each group will talk about their bridge and pass the dishpan under and put the
jug on top. When the jug is put on top, all will count for 10 seconds. (This
will be done for each group).
