Step+2+Brainstorming

After students were exposed to the project details and spent a little bit of time refreshing their brains on the six simple machines, they had to get into their teams and brainstorm 5 different contraption ideas. We provided them a little bit of time the first day and only 30 minutes the second day. 4th Grade media type="custom" key="7795159"

The final step in this stage was to go back and finalize their ideas. Once they had an idea of what they will be building, then they had to create a list of what they will need for the next class to begin building.
