Davis Creek Elementary
LEGO
2001 Miss Adventure
Challenge VII: Rescue
Davis Creek Elementary 5th grade students
are working on the LEGO Miss Adventure Challenges. The scenario is
that a ship wreck strands some victims on a deserted, tropical island.
The only supplies available are the items on board the ship and the island's
natural resources. The first challenge is to build a device to get
to the island with as much of the ship's supplies as possible. The
second challenge is to construct a shelter on the island. The third
challenge is to find a way to get fresh water for the islanders.
The fourth challenge is to find a supply of food and a way to keep the
survivors fed until help arrives. The fifth challenge is to design,
build, and operate a rescue device. The group built a sign spelling
out "H E L P ! ! !", while causing it to rotate in a circle.
Surely a passing airplane, ship, or a local native from a nearby island
will spot their cry for HELP!!! The sixth challenge was transportation.
The group designed and built vehicles to travel around the island.
The seventh, and final, challenge is rescue.
How can the group be rescued from their island?
What kind of vehicle can travel over water
and land that will carry our victims to safety and back to civilization.
Tara, Katie, Hanna, and Logan decide to build
a helicopter. It seems to be the perfect vehicle for rescuing our
team.
Katie and Tara are drawing a design for rescuing
our stranded victims.
