- Divide classroom into four groups of ~six students.
- Ask students to brainstorm the types of activity all dogs have to do each day.
- Tell students about the materials we will be providing them, and have each group
develop a design to be approved before providing materials. - Allow students to make a wheelchair using one large PVC pipe, popsicle sticks, tape, and
cotton balls. - Present preliminary designs to class.
- Ask students to brainstorm the materials they would want, to redesign a wheelchair for Abby
next week in STOMP. - COMMENTS: More materials should be provided, even in the preliminary week. Due to lack
of available materials, many of the designs looked exactly the same. Students were not
as serious about redesigning their wheelchairs for the next week as expected. Most groups
believed their designs were the best and were reluctant to change anything, even when given
the option of "ordering" their materials.
