Testing the Water
Posted by Faith BarbutoWhat if you were trapped on an island, surrounded by water filled with sharks? What if you had to work with your team to create a structure to escape? These were the problems we posed to kindergarten in our engineering activity in the makerspace this week. Students were given materials and first were asked as a group to decide which ones would be useful in solving this problem. Using the decided upon tools and a bit of imagination to turn a hard floor into a pool of water students created a rolling raft which could carry them to safety. Testing the “boat” was just part of the fun! No students were eaten by sharks during this activity.
