An Eggs-cellent Way to Plan
I feel that my group had gone through all the planning steps. Before we started anything we had thought about what we were being asked to do. We started to talk about what we had to work with to achieve the main objective of having an egg drop from 10 feet in the air into a bucket without breaking. One person told us of their plan and we all worked from there. Each person added their own ideas to the project and stated what they believe would not have worked and why. After actually talking about how we were going to put it all together, a person from the group was in charge of drawing the actual egg and how it was to turn out at the end. The rest of the team was to choose either to handle the egg, run for the scissors, handle the tape or, to go up and drop the egg. before the time of planning was up all the team members knew what they were in charge of and what they had to do within the 10 minute time limit. When we received all of our materials the work started immediately and everyone knew their job and had the egg done within 8 minutes. We were not a hundred percent confident about how the egg turned out but, we had agreed that it turned out the way we had planned.

Your groups planning seems to have been successful. I think the way you described how you broke down the task into individual jobs so that each member contributed positively was a great idea. Like in my group, each person having their own task contributed to a positive outcome, a well planned and implemented design, even if the final outcome was not great.
ReplyDeleteYea your group sounds like you really planned it out. How many of your people read the planning chapter before you came in to class? Maybe thats why. Or you just got lucky.
ReplyDeleteEither way, good job!
Good Job!I found that team work is the most important component of success. of course, u guys did apply the theoretical planning process into the activity.
