Cup Holder Challenge

Today’s Challenge: Using only provided materials ( 6 straws, 1 piece of paper, a piece of tinfoil, 12 inches of masking tape, 2 paperclips, 2 pieces of string, 1 envelope, and 2 pipe cleaners)  create a structure that holds two cups as high as possible and as far apart as possible.

 

Teamwork Rubric Focus:

 

My goal for participation today while working in my group is… My goal is to not get so controlling because I know when I get mad I get in control.

 

My Individual Plan <insert photo of sketch and/or type out plan>  My plan is to make a bridge will the tinfoil and hold it up with paper tubes and tape or paper clip it together.

 

Why I think my plan will be successful: I think my plan with be successful because I have made paper tubes before and it held a egg drop.

 

My Groups Plan <insert photo or sketch and/or type out plan> My groups plan is  to take the paper cut it in half and make paper tubes then take the envelope on it as a table then take the tinfoil to make a bowl for the cup.

 

We chose this plan because it is all of our plans together.

 

Possible challenges that may come up during construction Maybe not agreeing mu come up.

Each group member will be responsible for… M and O were responsible for building the scupcher.

 

After the Build

Our design worked well because it was the tallest in the class and we worked together to make the design  stand up.

 

This activity was challenging because M and O worked but L wasn’t working with us even though we tried to include him.

 

This activity was comfortable because we worked together to build it and it worked.

 

I met my participation goal by not getting mad and not getting in control.

 

A strength of my team was making sure we combined our ideas instead of one persons idea.

 

An area of growth for my team is making sure every body is in the project.

 

For our next challenge, my new participation goal for myself is not getting mad and in control.
