In science this year, students will be presented with various challenges. After a challenge is presented to the students, the students brainstorm a solution to solve the problem using certain materials. Their challenge this week was to work with a partner to create a shelf for their "elf" to sit on. Students could use paper cups, popsicle sticks, notecards, and tape. After this challenge, we discussed the importance of continuing to try your best even when their idea does not work as they expected. Many partners were able to persevere and were successful at some point in this activity.
