Design Challenge... Go!

Teacher: We are going to build a bridge that is sturdy today.

Kids: Yea!!

Teacher: You each get a partner, a strip of paper and a colored counter. Your bridge has to be sturdy enough to hold the counter!

Kids: (talking with their partner to plan)

Teacher:  Oh, and you CAN'T use scissors, glue or tape!

Kids:  WHAT!  How are we supposed to do that!  We can't do it then.

Teacher: yes you can, you just might have to try it a few different ways to make it work!  Ready go!

It took a few minutes of trying different things but they came up with some tricky ways to make it work!  Awesome!
