Learning Intention: I can use creative thinking while designing, building and testing a prototype 3D bobsled track with recycled materials.
Criteria:
- Our track is freestanding and the base is no larger than 60cm by 60cm
- Our track will have two major changes in direction
- I sketch a detailed plan that clearly labels different parts
- I build a prototype, test my design and make revisions
- I work collaboratively with my partner and listen to different ideas
We were excited to get started, but we needed to take time to share our ideas before starting our building. In the designing stage, some of us realized that we needed support to hold up our track. Others knew that walls on their bobsled course needed different support depending on where they were located on the track. It’s been great to see the creative thinking in action. We’ve been having fun testing, revising and testing again and are looking forward to finishing them up next week.
