Ideas needed - JR Maker's club

<< < (3/4) > >>

NormanV:
A team work project. Give each team an identical pile of materials and set them a task.
The best one I ever set was to challenge them to sort a pile of different sized balls (marbles, table tennis balls and tennis balls) It is amazing to see the different solutions that they will come up with.

raynerd:
Card straws/art straws - these things: they are cheap.
Sticky tape
Scissors

Each have an imaginary cost! 10p a straw, 20p a 10cm length of tape = team budget £1

Task: Make the tallest tower which can hold a pair of scissors. The height will be measured from the bench to the position of the scissors. It must be free standing and not held down.

You`ll get some great designs:




Joules:
Balloon hovercraft.   Egg races, transport a raw egg on built contraption without breaking.  Large foam gliders/deltas are challenging and splat-taculare.  Trebuchet

RobWilson:
 Bottle  rockets  :)

Rubber band powered vehicles, classes for speed or endurance.
