Tallest TowerPrincess Peach wants a new castle, since Mario destroyed the tower defeating Bowser. You are all on Mario’s architectural team. The team that builds the tallest tower wins the contract. You must design the castle following the rules listed below:
• Each group has 5 minutes to “design” their structure, but cannot touch the paper or tape during this time.• Each team has 10 minutes for construction of their tower.• Team with the tallest tower wins the contract for the new castle.
EWWWWWW! FEELINGS!!!- What went well?- Was it harder to
work in a group of people with the same strengths? Easier? Why?
- Did you notice a difference between the planning and executing stages?
Mario and Princess Peach would like to build a Summer Castle in Australia. They would still like the tallest castle, but they want it to be completely different from what they have back home. Split into your new groups and build a completely different castle. You will get 5 minutes to plan, and 10 minutes to design; same rules apply as before.
