Description

The importance of this task is the need to explain how it works – this will show that Beavers have invented a proper tool or machine and not just a junk model. Beavers could draw their invention, make it from junk/recycled materials, or demonstrate it in some other way. They don’t actually have to make it work, just explain what it will do. Could add some words into a container that they could use to inspire eg. wheels, cogs, chimney, fuel (gas, electric, coals etc). Work in lodges as teamwork to discuss and present their ideas.

Resources

Paper, Pencils, Junk (Optional)

Instructions

Beavers design a machine and explain how it works.
LEADER EXPLAINS TASK (5 mins)
• This week we are going to work in teams (lodges) as inventors. We are going to find our inner hidden inventor and invent a toy or machine to solve a problem or frustration. I’m sure that you all will create something exciting and fascinating!
• Firstly, we will discuss possible problems together as lodges. Once you have a list of problems to solve, you can then individually choose a problem to solve.
• Take your time to plan and design your invention before starting to build it. Make some sketches and if you can write down the functions before you start.
• YOU MIGHT WANT TO BRAINSTORM MORE THAN ONE IDEA ON PAPER BEFORE DECIDING ON WHICH TO MODEL.
• You can draw and/or model your inventions.
• At the end we would like a few of you to explain your invention and how it works to the rest of the Colony.
