In honor of Engineering week and the arrival of spring-yay! Third grade had the chance to design a trap for a leprechaun given just a few household items like straws, rubber bands, paper and tape to name a few. At the end of the challenge, their design had to be able to hold and trick a 12 inch or shorter leprechaun without harming him/her, include items to entice a leprechaun and/or camouflage, and show teamwork in the design process. We presented our final traps to each other and created a small book for each team including our positive "thumbs up" comments and suggestions or advice. Our traps were very creative; some included ladders, drop pits, fake gold, pulleys, etc. Here's a video of us during the building process:
