Engineering A Prosthetic Arm!
The 8th graders were engineering a cardboard prosthetic arm The students had to use all of the same materials. Their innovative ideas had special tasks to perform. The students had to be able to drop the various objects 2 feet away into a can. Then the engineers had a contest to see which helping hand could pick up the most objects from 2 feet away. The following scientists engineered the Most Productive Helping Hand:
1st Place- Ofasu & Julian
2nd Place-Abby & Jada
3rd Place-Erin & Alexis
