{}{} Water Wheel {}{}

Last week on our contracts we had a Mahi tahi challenge.
Mahi tahi is when the 3 senior classes get put into different groups and we have to do a challenge.
we also have to think about the Four Cs Critical Thinking,Communication,Collaboration,Creativity.
Since we couldn't be together in the same class we did it as one class.
Our challenge was to make a water wheel that moves and picks up water.
we made it out of paper plates, straws, egg cartons,hot glue, tin foil, rubber bands, skewers and cups.
When we were finished we test it out and it worked perfectly but it didn't pick up water.
Here's is an image

    I love the idea to all the senior classes working together.

  4. Hello Alyx, My name is Grace. I am from Paroa school. This is a really cool Idea and it looks really fun to use. It looks so effective and eye popping. How long did it take to make? What was the best part about making this? Maybe next time you could make a slide and show us how you made it :)
