The Essential Questions:
1. What did this activity show you about yourself?
2. What did this activity show you about working as a team?
3.What will you take away from this lesson?
4. How will this help you be a better classmate/team member?
5. How will this help you be a better student?
6. How does this activity affect our classroom community?
The Essential Questions:
The assumption in the Marshmallow Challenge is that marshmallows are
light and fluffy and easily supported
by the spaghetti sticks.
When you actually try to build the structure,
the marshmallows don’t seem so light.
The lesson in the marshmallow challenge is that we need to identify the assumptions in our project
- the cost of the product -the amount e amount of time it will take us to complete the project -the amount of help/skill we will need to acquire...
We have to challenge our assumptions/stay open-minded
That’s the mechanism that leads to effective innovation.
