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 to not be competitive and to cooperate doing my best job with whatever my job ends up being.

Our design worked well because it worked well at the beginning. 

 

This activity was challenging because we ran out of tape at the end and the tape didn’t hold at the end. 

 

This activity was comfortable because our group cooperated. 

 

I met my participation goal by both not being competitive and working as hard as I could with my job. 

 

A strength of my team was all cooperated and what it looked like most of us all did our best at our jobs and we all could pick the jobs that we wanted because we all wanted to do different jobs. 

 

An area of growth for my team is not to rush each other when we are about to run out of time at the end. 

 

For our next challenge, my new participation goal for myself is not rush my partners at the end.
