Technology Challenge
In May we are taking part in the BP Technology challenge. One of our challenges was to make a bungy platform using 15 iceblock sticks, 3 drinking straws, 1m of string, 1m of tape a small piece of blu tac and 2 marbles.
We had to build a stand alone structure that was not anchored to the desk. The structure had to balance a marble at one end (like someone standing at the end of a platform. The structure that reached out the furthest from the end of the desk was the winner.
The winning team with a distance of 40cm was Leyanne, Maddi, Olive-Coco and Dodge.
Mr. Brown managed 56cm but we think he might have cheated. 🙂
Why don’t you try it at home (or school) and see how far you can get?
I was so impressed with the outside the box thinking that went on in the lesson today kids. Very proud. So many different solutions and excellent teamwork and discussion that went into all of the ideas. Well done
