Saving Sam Intro lab

WARM UP I can… problem solve using the scientific method with a team. Warm Up: What is a dilemma or problem you have solved lately? How did you go about solving it? Turn in: Signed syllabus (only back sheet- front STAYS IN BINDER) in ‘completed work’ bin on front desk.

Saving Sam!! Sam has been spending his summer boating on the Great Lakes. But he’s not too bright (after all, the brains of worms are pretty small!) He’s never learned how to swim and he never wears his life preserver. The worst has happened- Sam’s boat capsized and he is stuck! Fortunately, his life preserver is in the boat, but unfortunately he does not know how to reach it without falling off and drowning.

Your Task Save Sam and create a safety procedure for the boat company in case of future repeats.

The Problem How can your team save Sam using only 4 paper clips, while each person can only touch one paper clip, without drowning Sam? you may not touch the boat, Sam or the life preserver with anything but paperclips you may not puncture the life preserver (or it won’t float) or Sam (he will die!) if you knock Sam off, you must restart.
