Group 1

Yes. We learn that we have to be flexible and adjust our plan to make it more effective. We all did the same task and ensure no one was free with their hands. We support each other by helping each other out holding the sticks and taping.

Group 8

No we did not and yes we did have to change our approach. We learnt to improvise on the spot when things don't go as planned. We did not give up and kept trying to improve on our tower's structure. Give instructions and assign roles for everyone. We told each other that it was okay if we failed as we had tried our best.

We did not distribute roles however, we all did try to help each other out. E.g: one person would be the one taping, the other would pass the items to another person.

By setting the standards right and creating expectations. We also just made sure that everyone did work by taking turns on certain roles.

We always were willing to lend a helping hand in order to make our progress speed up

Reflection Part 1:

I did not stick with my initial idea and had to change my idea.

To stay resilient and keep trying as the process counts.

I used the tables to kiap the sticks so it could stand.

Reflection part 2:

Our team member helped in tearing the tape and holding the sticks upright.

We would call each other to make sure no one is left out.

We kept trying and supporting each other.

1) no we didn't as we changed our idea many times but with the same method of tripod stand.

2)we learned to preserver and try again after failing

3) we threw all our ideas together and combined everything

4)we contributed by having 1 person to give us the tap, 1 giving ideas and 3 people building

Group 4 (Danielle, Hazriq, Harikkesh, Sanjeev)

We had to change our approach after thinking through our first idea.
We learned to communicate better and persevere through the challenges and brainstorm our new idea.
After the first idea failed, we tried multiple times but to no avail. Our final product didn't even stand and it was a failure. But through this challenge, we learned to communicate better as a group and to persevere through the challenges, showing the school value, resilience.

pt1 : our initial idea was to make a tower with a few supporting small sticks as support for the tower and taped the support sticks to the table. we sticked to the idea but our support sticks were too weak so we decided to add more support sticks so that the marshmallow can balance

i learnt that we should adapt and improvise if our idea doesn't go as planned and we could take inspiration from other people on how they do it so we could improvise on the idea

we pushed beyond even though our spaghetting sticks was slunting and tried to make it straight.

pt 2: our team distributed our roles such that everyone one had a role to play. for instance helping to build the tower, giving ideas and giving out resources for the builders, we did well as we tried our best and never gave up even when our tower was slunting

We stook with our initial idea but it was not able to hold the marshmellow. We learnt that we had to think through our process and should've finalised with an idea first. We decided to stick the pasta on the doorframe, since we could not use our hands to hold it(that didn't work)

We all had a part to play such as one person building the base, in charge of tape distribution, designing the structure. We all checked up to make sure we were doing our tasks and when things went wrong we moved on and said it was okay that it didn't work out.

No, we did not stick with our initial idea as it did not support the tower properly and it looked like a raft, we decided afterwards to change it to something that resembles a tower, and was stable enough to hold the weight of a marshmallow.

we learned that we should not build boats when we should build towers.
