Our latest ADST challenge was to work in teams to design and build a game that incorporated a push and a pull in it! We had just finished talking about forces and motion and this was a great way to show our learning! After breaking off into groups, the teams discussed "design" options and made a list of materials they needed. Then, it was the "build" stage!
 |
| It was great listening to everyone give their suggestions as to what they should do! |
 |
| The teams worked well together! |
 |
| We tested and retested our games and made adjustments. |
 |
| We learned to divide up jobs. |
 |
| More testing! |
And finally...time was up! Here are our inventions...
 |
| There were balls and ramps! |
 |
| Board games with things that you had to push and pull! |
 |
| Board game with spinners and swings! |
 |
| Catapults and balls! |
 |
| Our own version of "pac man"! |
 |
| And "knock-them-down" games with sling shots!
Some inventions were more successful than others. But in the end what was more important was the process we went through. We learned some valuable lessons in planning, designing, testing, team work and cooperation! We are now ready for the next ADST challenge! What will it be???
