Instructional Ideas

  • Conduct an experiment between several groups, having some groups design something with boundaries/constraints put into place, and have the other groups design anything with whatever and however they want; then have the groups compare results such as efficiency of product, amount of time it took, challenges they had to overcome, etc.
