Essential Question: Can my group successfully plan, design and build a paper plate pinball/marble run using only the provided materials?

Goal: Move the marble from one end of the plate to the other, having the marble travel through at least three obstacles.

My teamwork/communication goal for this challenge:  Our goal is to make the ball  to go through the obstacles.

Step 1: Brainstorm

Look at the supplies table. You may NOT take anything from the table yet.  

You may only take ONE plate and ONE marble. There are no other requirements. You will have 15 minutes to build.

What ideas do you have? We should take pipe cleaners and make a path and take toilet paper rolls and make paths.

Your group has shared all of your ideas. Before you can start building, what is your actual plan?

• What will your marble run look like? (draw a sketch & insert photo here)
• How will you make sure all members of the group are included in the building process? We will make different parts in the building.

Build and test

• Insert a few photos of the building process here

Reflect

What was comfortable about the challenge/teamwork?  We all worked on different parts on the project.

What was difficult about the challenge/teamwork? I think it was difficult to work together because we would just all talk at the same time and didn’t work together that much.

How did the teamwork rubric help your group today? I didn’t help a lot because we weren’t working together that much.

Is there anything you would change about the teamwork rubric after going through this challenge? I wouldn’t really change anything.

How did you support your team today? I helped make the plate.

What might you do differently during our next team challenge? I might try not to be so controlling.
