Most of our day was spent working with our Design Challenge #3. The students needed to design a way for children to help prepare food or a meal for a busy family. This was tricky at first because in some ways it was similar to yesterday’s challenge so we needed to think of new and unique ways to attack this problem. We began by discussing ways we already help at home. Then we made a up a sample menu and listed out the time it takes to make each recipe on that menu. We finished the conversation talking about how to schedule food preparation and cooking times so that everything is ready at the same time. The kids started working on their concepts and designs and made “shopping lists” for materials to build their prototypes.
We also had Mrs. Brohm visit and tell us the story of “Little Banana”. This is the story of a banana traveling from the plant to the grocery store. Here are their thoughts on the story: “We learned how bananas get to the stores and our homes.” ” Bananas have to go in lots of trucks.” “The bananas have to get stored with a chemical so they ripen.” “Bananas come from a plant, not a tree like we all thought.” “Bananas have to go across the ocean to come here.”
We spent the rest of the day building our prototypes!
