Problem- Solving Activity Saving Sam Problem- Solving Activity

The problem…. Sam is stuck on a boat, and how he got there is not important, but Sam can't swim and the boat is capsized. To get to shore, Sam needs to retrieve a life jacket from underneath the boat so that he can float to shore. You and your partner's job is to save Sam by retrieving the life jacket from under the boat and putting it on Sam. Unfortunately, the only tools you can use to accomplish this task are paperclips. You cannot touch Sam, the boat, or the life preserver with your bare hands. A gummy worm is used to represent Sam, a gummy life saver is the life preserver and an overturned cup represents the boat.

Set-Up

Remember… - You cannot touch Sam, the boat, or the life preserver with your hands! - You don’t want to gouge or hook Sam with the paperclips (or he might die!) - Do not let Sam drown! - Work only with your partner!

GOOD LUCK!!!

Ticket out the door… 1. How did you and your partner figure out how to save Sam? 2. Would it have been easier if you were working alone? Why or why not? 3. Could Sam be saved if you had only one paperclip?
