A local Civic Engineer will be visiting to talk about his occupation and work in the design and construction of an overpass built near our school. One of the topics that we will focus on is the importance of teamwork. Following his presentation, the student will be grouped together into teams and given the K'NEX Education Bridges box. The constraints of the build (time, materials, design, and function) will be discussed as a class. In this activity, groups of students will be challenged by a limited amount of materials (K'NEX Bridge Set) and time (50 minutes) to build a bridge that can support four toy cars. Bridges that are successful and use fewer pieces will be given additional points for being more economical. The team with the most successful bridge wins the competition. After the activity we will discuss some of the pros and cons of teamwork and how each team could improve their ability to work together. We will then establish a class set of rules for teamwork that we can use for future building activities. Our building has multiple science teachers. Three of us plan to use this equipment for our classes, meaning over 300 students will benefit from these kits per year.
