This is an activity for the first day or as an introduction to the scientific method or to just allow students to work in groups so that you can get to know them better. I usually do all instructions verbally and don't require any written documents for turning in. This is great for a first day activity or for an introduction to the scientific method.

Setting Up the Scenario

Sam is stuck on a boat, and how he got there is not important, but Sam can't swim and the boat is capsized. To get to shore, Sam needs to retrieve a life jacket from underneath the boat so that he can float to shore. You and your partner's job is to save Sam by retrieving the life jacket from under the boat and putting it on Sam. Unfortunately, the only tools you can use to accomplish this task are paperclips. (1 per person, or you can give them 2 per person). You cannot touch Sam, the boat, or the life preserver with your bare hands.

A gummy worm is used to represent Sam, a gummy life saver is the life preserver and an overturned cup represents the boat. *It also may enhance the activity to mention that worms are hermaphrodites, and Sam is technically both boy and girl, which makes the name rather appropriate.

Discussion Questions

1. How did you and your partner figure out how to save Sam?

2. Would it have been easier if you were working alone? Why or why not?

3. Was there a clear leader in your group? Did someone call the shots or make decisions about how to save Sam.

4. Could Sam be saved if you had only one paperclip?

5. How could you make this activity more challenging?

The Sharing Success program was created in 2012 through a partnership with one of Wheatland's partner banks, CoBank, and the Scott Community Foundation. That first year, Wheatland contributed $5,000 to the Scott Community Foundation to create the Wheatland Electric Sharing Success Fund. CoBank matched the donation, giving the fund a balance of $10,000 to distribute to local non-profits.

Each year since, Wheatland and CoBank have continued to donate to the program. The Sharing Success funds are typically given in $1,000 grants by Wheatland Electric, with an emphasis on spreading the wealth evenly to all corners of Wheatland's service territory.

In 2019, the matching funds from CoBank increased to $7,500., increasing the total amount to distribute to non-profit organizations across Wheatland's service territory in 2019 to $15,000. The amount increased again in 2020 to $10,000 each, bringing their total combined donations to $125,000 since the fund's inception in 2012. Wheatland and CoBank have each donated $62,500 to the program.

The Sharing Success program continues to be one of our most valuable tools for giving back to the communities we serve," said Bruce Mueller, Wheatland General Manager. "We are thankful to CoBank and the Scott Community Foundation for their partnership on this great program. Over the last five years we've made a huge impact in our communities, together helping more than 55 separate organizations achieve their mission."

Community based organizations interested in receiving funding from the Wheatland Electric Sharing Success Fund can complete the application below. Questions should be referred to Alli Conine, Director of Member Services & Corporate Communications, at 620-874-4563 or aconine@weci.net.

Newman Regional Health Receives $100,000 Patterson Family Foundation Grant

(Emporia, KS) - Newman Regional Health is proud to announce it has received a grant in the amount of $100,000 from the Patterson Family Foundation. The funding is intended to be used by rural-serving hospitals currently caring for COVID-19 inpatients to cover expenses related to pandemic-related medical equipment, supplies, and/or personal protective equipment (PPE).
The Patterson Family Foundation is based in Kansas City, Missouri, and has deep roots in rural Kansas and Missouri. With a passion for helping rural communities, the goal of the Patterson Family Foundation by offering this opportunity to hospitals like Newman Regional Health is to financially assist with medical equipment or supplies that would improve the safety, care, or
comfort of patients or hospital staff during this difficult time.

"Patterson Family Foundation is pleased to contribute funding to Newman Regional Health as front line providers and staff work tirelessly to care for patients," said a Patterson Family Foundation spokesperson. "We hope this funding helps Newman Regional Health purchase the critical equipment and supplies needed to treat COVID-19. It is both our privilege and pleasure to offer a helping hand to rural communities navigating through these unprecedented times."

As a result of the grant, the equipment being purchased allows Newman Regional Health to provide obstetrical care for COVID-19 positive mothers, as well as, medical surgical care to COVID-19 positive patients in our intensive care and medical surgical units.
"It is through the generosity of family's like the Patterson's, that rural community hospitals can purchase state-of-the-art equipment needed to improve the health in our communities," states Julia Pyle, Chief Operating Officer at Newman Regional Health. "We are thankful for the opportunity this grant provides in ensuring we continue to meet our vision to be a valued, trusted partner and regional provider of exemplary services."
Eligible recipients were required to meet the following outlined criteria before applying:

Rural-serving hospital in a Kansas or Missouri county with less than a 50,000 total population within a specified region

Nonprofit, or have a related charitable nonprofit entity that can receive the donation

Provide inpatient care for patients with COVID-19 (will be verified using state-level public health data)

Have obtained formal price quotes for the equipment or supplies and validated a timely delivery and installation upon purchase

Can attest to having the appropriate licensed staff in place to operate any equipment that will be purchased using these funds

About Newman Regional Health: Newman Regional Health is a not-for-profit 25-bed Critical Access Hospital owned by the citizens of Lyon County, Kansas. Recognized as a Level 4 Trauma Center, Newman Regional Health provides inpatient acute and medical rehabilitation services along with a full range of emergency and outpatient care to patients of all ages in Lyon County and surrounding areas in East Central Kansas.
