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
