Engineering with Mr. Jack

It was time to use a bit of brain power and imagination with Mr. Jack!  The task was to design an object to pick up marbles and place them into a cup.  The device was not allowed to scoop the marbles and body parts must stay behind the tape line to operate the device.

Mr. Jack provided every group the following materials:  1 cup, 7 sheets of paper, aluminum foil, 3 rubber bands, 7 straws, 5 paper clips, string, and a roll of masking tape.

It was interesting to see what each group came up with in forty minutes.

Everyone did a great job and all the devices worked!
