1. Yesterday, we worked on our Sukkah project by finding paint and carriage bolts. My part in the process was to find paint because we are going to paint our wall black and then use pink and orange neon spray paint to spray paint something on the black wall.
   2. One thing I learned because of this Sukkah project was about carriage bolts because I didn’t know that was a thing. Carriage bolts is a bolt that you use to put big pieces of wood together.

• What kind of questions did you ask yourself (meta)? I asked myself did I click everything?  Did I make sure that I was writing everything down and making sure I check my work more then once?

• What was your “aha” moment during this challenge? How did this impact finishing the challenge?  My biggest aha moment was I finished the questions because some of them were really hard.

• How did this challenge compare to the other two we have completed? This one it was easy and then got hard but the other ones were pretty much all easy.

• What kind of questions did you ask yourself (meta)? I asked my self did I check everything and did I read more then once.

What thinking moves did you use when playing this game (questioning, connecting, listening, observing, deducing, reasoning, etc? I was thinking I hope I get into a room. I was also thinking about the clue cards because some people in my group wanted to use them but some didn’t and I don’t know how to use them so I was thinking how do I use them.

• How did organizing your information impact your experience playing the game? I helped me by making sure that I was writing notes and making sure I pay attention so I can make good guesses. 

• Where else do you use these thinking skills (at school, at home, on sports teams, etc)?  Science  because in science we have to make hypothesis about different guesses when we do labs.

• What information seems most important to collect? I tried to figure out who has what cards and what cards are in the envelope. 
• *What is the difference between an observation and information? Observation is guess and make clues and information is when you put different pieces together like a puzzle.

What materials did you choose for your build and why?

Popsicle sticks- For bases for the tree and the tower.

Foam- for mattress base.

Fluffing- For the bed so its squishy.

model magic- For the prince, princes, bedding and pillows.

paper- tower, base, and backdrop.

crayons- to color the backdrop, tower, and river.

Hot glue- for gluing everything on the base

string- for zip line and rope.

pipe cleaners- for the tree

gems- to decorate the top of the tower.

Here is a picture of my plan:

Here is a picture of my first attempt at the building process:

While you test:

What are you noticing? We noticed that Rapunzel is weighing down the zip line because of her hair and weighing down the whole backdrop.

What things are working? The tower stands up and the tree stands up.

What things are not working? Rapunzel is weighing down the zip line because of her hair and weighing down the whole backdrop. Also the zip line is too low so when she goes down the zip line she goes into the river.

How will you tweak this? Make this better? (Be specific and detailed!) We will first make the string tighter for the zip line, then remake Rapunzel so she can fit in the seat, and then remake the seat to fit Rapunzel.

Do you need any new materials? If so, WHY?

Model magic- so we can remake Rapunzel

paper- so we can remake the seat

hot glue- so we can re-glue the zip line

Sketch your new design with labels on a piece of paper. Make sure your drawing is detailed and specifically labeled.  

Insert your sketch here:

Why will this new design work better than your first attempt? What is your evidence? It will work because Rapunzel with be smaller and more tiny so she won’t way down the backdrop and the string will be titter so Rapunzel isn’t touching the ground when you put her in the seat. 

What about the building process was challenging? something that was challenging for me was making sure every member on my team was doing something that is part of the build and making sure that everybody feels like they involved in the challenge. 

How did your build differ from your plan? (If your build was different than your plan, update your plan!) our plan was different from our plan because we added a tip line and out tree was just a extra thing. 

How did your group work well together during the build? What would you do again? We did well by making sure everybody had a part and was working together.

How did your group struggle during the build? What would you change? Making sure that we filled out our packets as we went through the building process.
