The Essential Questions:

Page 32: The marshmallow challenge

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:

Page 33: The marshmallow challenge

The assumption in the Marshmallow Challenge is that marshmallows are

light and fluffy and easily supported

by the spaghetti sticks.

Page 34: The marshmallow challenge

When you actually try to build the structure,

the marshmallows don’t seem so light.

Page 35: The marshmallow challenge

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.
