Description
Looking for something you can do to break the ice on the first day without having to gather a ton of materials? Worried that students are gong to die of boredom if you do one more presentation on procedures and expectations? If you answered yes to either of those questions, the tower building challenge is the answer to your problems!
Great for team building, inquiry, or scientific method practice, this resource is sure to bring up some interesting discussion and definitely provides a lot of practice for students in perseverance in problem solving.
In this resource, students are given a simple riddle to solve and a set of manipulatives (print or digital) to experiment with various solutions. The solution isn't as simple as it may seem, and students will likely be stumped and frustrated at first. Use this as an opportunity to talk about "stuck points" and how we can move beyond them.
How Can I Use this Resource?
- first day of school introductory lesson
- meet and greet for small groups or teams
- middle of the year reflection on best practices for group work
- brain break activity
- time filler for a lesson that doesn't quite take as long as expected
