My Activities:
- Crash Course for Kids: Fixing Failure Points
- Improve Afternoon:
- One student from every group was put into an "Improve Afternoon" team. They then went to each project with sticky notes and the person whose group had created the structure explained the different parts of their structure.
- The other students then left sticky notes with one thing they thought the team did well and one suggestion for improvement.
- We then had the other grade 3 classes come into complete the activity as well.
- Prototype #2: Students had the option to create a new prototype where they were able to change 1 or 2 things about their structure.
Other Possible Activities:
- Students can create a second prototype that has to be different then their first, and explain what differences make it better.
