I can work with a team to build a challenge.
1. Practice your Typing
2. What causes all the hallway congestion? Do you think it is the same as a traffic jam?
3. You challenge for this week. Build a free flowing marble run that has no traffic jams. You will work with a partner or small groups to accomplish this task. The video below will help you solve the problem.
4. Open your journals. Put this challenge into one of your pages.
ASK: I need to build a Lego Marble Run.
IMAGINE: The marbles need to run smooth from top to bottom. I want it to have......ramps, spinners, a box to catch the marble.....I will follow a video to help me create my project.
PLAN: Sketch a picture, give detailed notes...
We will keep your projects in the library if it is not being used for testing.
Please clean up any bricks left out. We will dismiss from seats 28 down to 1.
TUESDAY- CONTINUE WITH PROJECT
1. Practice your typing.
2. Continue to work on your project. If you are having trouble finding pieces, let me know.
3. If you finish early, put it away. Then you can do the activities below.
WEDNESDAY- REDESIGN THE TOWER
I can build a better marble run.
1. Practice your typing.
2. We had some success with the marble run, but I think everyone would agree that it is too unstable.
The ramps work perfect, but fall out of place easily.
This time try to build a tower that goes around in a square. Make the towers 4x4's and we will add an extra wide piece so we can "lock" the ramp in place.
Work as a team to build a new design. Raise your hand when you are finished.
