To have more than one team working on the same problem, ask your students to design solutions to a situation that has multiple rescuing aspects. Have them explain how they got better at finding a solution. Have them reflect on what they learned in the previous part of the project. Providing vital resources during a drought period.In some cases, helicopters may not be used in rescue missions.ĭescribe in what case this situation might happen, and ask the students to think of a new solution to this problem.
Keep in mind that these tasks extend upon those of the previous section and are designed for older or more advanced students. Use the “Design further solutions” section of the student project as an optional extension. Make sure they compare their solutions according to the criteria also listed above.ĭesign further solutions (optional, 45-60 minutes) Have the students build two solutions for one of the cases listed above. It is important to note that because a student model will vary according to student choice, there are no building instructions or sample programs provided to students for this part of the project. This modification could lead to a new design for the helicopter body, using the motor to drop water instead of moving the string. Build a device to drop water to put out a fire. Make sure nothing falls out during transportation.ģ.
Students can build a basket, a net, or a stretcher to lower materials. Build a device to drop materials to help people. Make sure the animal does not fall out during transportation.Ģ. Students can build a platform, a box, or a stretcher to lift the animal. Build a device to relocate an endangered animal. Have students build at least two solutions for one of the cases so they canġ. There is definitely more than one good answer to this challenge, but a good answer is something that can be linked to the criteria. Students have to modify the helicopter so it can be used in a weather-damaged area, making sure their designs are safe, easy to use, and adapted to the situation. From this model, students should be to able design their own drop or rescue device.
