👋👋

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:  

To not argue.

 

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?

It could go through a dog door thing (I don’t know how else to explain it.)

It could go through a toilet paper role.

It could go through a popsicle stick ramp.

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?
• 
• How will you make sure all members of the group are included in the building process? We’ll all work on it.

Build and test

Finished

 

Reflect

What was comfortable about the challenge/teamwork?

We didn’t argue.

What was difficult about the challenge/teamwork?

That one of the obsticles didn’t count as an obsticle so we had to think of a new one. (the door thing at the end)

How did the teamwork rubric help your group today? We didn’t use the rubric. We just worked on the challenge.

Is there anything you would change about the teamwork rubric after going through this challenge?

No.

How did you support your team today?

I thought of the plan.

What might you do differently during our next team challenge?

Maybe include others more. I was doing the majority of the work, but most of the other group members weren’t tryig to do stuff.
