Paper, tape, scissors, watch.
Team up in pairs. Give each team 5 pieces of paper, a roll of tape, and a pair of scissors. The goal is to build a paper contraption that, when dropped from 8 feet off the ground, will take the longest time to reach the floor. Each team gets 5 drops. You may make design changes between attempts. However, only your best time (in this case, longest time) counts.
How did you decide which design to try first? Did you make design changes after each drop? What principles could you apply to situations at home where your family needs to make decisions together? |
