The class activity on eggs-cellent planning in last week is interesting and unforgettable. There are six people in our team. Our team is not succeed at building an effective egg protector, but we are very close to get it. Our egg was broke at second impact.
Our team actually go through the steps of define the goals and objective, determine the resources and current status vis-รก-vis objectives, develop several alternative strategies, and implement the plan and evaluate results.
However, we didn't do well at the step of make a tactical plan. We didn't allocate jobs or roles throughout the team.I think we bypass to choose the leader at the beginning. Everyone just focus at how to make the effective egg protector.
We explained the ideas and used the little ball of paper to pattern the egg drop down and used the pens to pattern the straws. I also explain my idea. My idea is connecting the straws like "#" and surround the egg. I believe it will make the straw stronger according to the experience of I watch the video and analysis of car crash experiment. My teammate all accept my idea. I also think the connection point is very important. We begin to think about how to use the tape to connect the straws. After we get the material to make the protector, we realize we didn't allocate jobs or roles. Therefore, we wasted the time at assign the job and didn't finish the egg protector.
After our teammate drop the egg, our egg land safety but broke at the second impact. We failed at the end, but I am still proud of my team. This is one of my unforgettable class.

Time is usually wasted if roles were not specified to each person in completing the protector. Luckily, even though my group didn't directly assign who did what, we kind of "established" unspokenly, who did what when we got the materials. Everyone just collaborated and we got it done! But still, our egg did not survive the great fall =[
ReplyDeleteGood job on making landing! too bad the tipping over cracked the egg in the end.
True. Allocating roles was very essential i order not to waste time. I remember your construction of egg protection. I was sure it's not going to broke... Oh well, almost everyone's broke :)
