Challanges
- Ask them to make their own model rescue device.
- Change or add different weights to be rescued. Ask the kids if they think anything should be changed in their rescue device to handle the new weights.
- They can try to figure out how their device can lift the load from the bottom to the top, which might be a fun challenge.
Questions to be asked
- How could we make sure the straw rescue device is safe for the one we are helping? What can be done?
- If the load is more, what changes will you bring to your rescue device?
- If the depth is more, what changes will you bring?
