Inquiry Cubes Activity How Observant Are You?

The Unbreakable Laws  No one may touch the cube.  NO CHEATING! Do not attempt or succeed at looking at the bottom side of the cube!  The cube must not be moved by ANY means! This includes, but is not limited to:  bumping the table, blowing the cube, fanning the cube with a hand or other object, sighing or sneezing on the cube, etc.  You cannot leave your seat to look at other sides of the cubes. You may only lean left or right.  Behinds must stay FIRMLY on seats!

Rules of the Activity  Your goal as a group is to look at the cube in front of you and decide as a team what the bottom side looks like.  Each person should contribute to the conversation.  Everyone should describe the side(s) they see to their table so that all know what the cube looks like without having to touch and/or move the cube.  Your group will look for patterns in order to decide what could possibly be on the bottom of the cube you are currently looking at.  BE OBSERVANT! Your success depends on how well you observe the cube and your participation, cooperation, and collaboration with your group!

There can only be one…  Before we begin, your team must choose a secretary. The secretary must write down all discussion topics, things observed about the cube, and ideas formed by the group.  The catch:  The secretary MAY NOT TALK during this exercise!  The secretary is an outside observer at ALL times! He/she may not share his/her thoughts on the cube. This ensures that he/she listens carefully to his/her group and can accurately capture his/her team’s ideas.

You have 15 minutes…  Remember not to move/touch the cube AT ALL!  Secretaries, get your pens/pencils, paper and ears ready to record your team’s thoughts! You will be reporting them to us at the end of the exercise!  GOOD LUCK!
