Engineering, math, teamwork, problem-solving, art, and PHENOMENAL FUN! Each student received a SECRET challenge hidden in a paper bag, such as building the strongest bridge, tallest tower, longest line, or building a house with windows and doors that can open. They could only use construction paper, markers, a ruler, scissors, and tape. ALSO, there was a 45 minute time limit. As groups finished, each student completed a reflection sheet about the project.
My 5th grade students loved this end of the year project!
This was a teaching idea I got from Angela Watson of thecornerstoneforteachers.com - this teacher ROCKS!
Here's the web link to her page and free project. http://thecornerstoneforteachers.com/2015/04/get-kids-collaborating-with-the-brown-bag-art-challenge.html
