On Wednesday, my environmental science students competed with one another to build the tallest tower out of 50 straws and 1 meter of masking tape. The groups worked cooperatively and produced some pretty cool (and occasionally tall) towers.
I only had 6 students during 9th period. They separated themselves into a group of 4 and a group of 2 - 2 boys, in fact. The larger group worked quickly at assembling what became a 90 cm tower. Meanwhile, the boys were diligently building a twisted mess. I went over to investigate...
Possibly Problematic But Certainly Creative: Well, we knew they were going to win for the tallest tower... So we built the tallest roller coaster.
