Students were given 3 plastic spoons, 3 popsicle sticks, 3 pipe cleaners, and 3 rubber bands. From these items groups had to build a contraption that could pick up as many pieces of "corn" in one swipe as possible. The goal was to clear Farmer John's field in as few swipes as necessary. The group with the lowest number of pickups was the winner! Some groups took about 15 tries to clear the board. One group cleared the board in 2 tries! However, this group was not the winner! One group got very creative and cleared the entire board with just one try! Amazing!
