Invent a Machine to save energy/environment

Report Copyright Infringement View in OSM UK

Description

Design a machine to help the environment or save energy or water. 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. Beavers draw their invention and make notes on what it does/how it works. They don’t actually have to make it work, just explain what it will do. Work in lodges as teamwork to discuss and present their ideas.


Resources

Paper, Pencils

Beavers design a machine and explain how it works:

1 - Spend 5 minutes brainstorming ideas for the machine
2 - As a lodge decide which idea to go for
3 - spend 15-20 minutes designing the chosen machine, what it will do and how it will work, draw out the plans for it.
4 - Spend 5 minutes listing required parts to build it (building is next week)
5 - Each lodge takes 2 minutes to share their design with the other lodges
