* Make Fruit & Veggie Circuits! After making a circuit using a Makey
Makey kit, see if a banana can be part of the circuit. Substitute other
fruit & veggies suggested by Brian to the other piranhas, to test if they
are conductive. Test a range of other substances. Make a circuit with the
whole class joining hands. Play Banana Bongos and Banana Piano - see
links below.
DESIGN PROCESS
THINK: Investigating and Defining
- What interests/ideas are sparked by reading the book?
- Identify 'problems' to be solved - Choose a problem to work on
MAKE: Generating
- Brainstorm ideas for 'solving' the chosen problem
- Make a plan eg. sketch, list, mindmap, etc.
Producing and Implementing
- Gather appropriate materials
- Build a prototype, make adjustments/iterations during building phase
IMPROVE/ Evaluating
REFLECT: - Does the design solve the chosen problem? Does it work?
- Share prototype and seek feedback from others
