2nd graders used newspaper, masking tape and imagination to create a vessel to protect a dropped Pringles Chip. The students did not get a practice round. They were given one chip and about 20 minutes to find a way to protect it with just newspaper and masking tape. We chose to drop the chips from our stairwell and I am happy to say we had many Pringles land safely and in one piece. We had a variety of chip ship designs and it was a great learning experience. The students shared ideas and cheered for each other as their chips safely landed. Those who had a chipped chip, were able to compare their designs to others and discover what might have gone wrong.
