Solve a Transfer Challenge

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet

Imagine that golf balls are radioactive and that they must be moved without touching or dropping them! This is what collaborative groups experience in this challenge. Each group is given a variety of materials with which to construct a device to safely transport the golf balls. This is an exciting team-building activity or introduction to an engineering unit. Adding the idea that the golf balls are radioactive allows for a wrap-up discussion of how such materials might be handled safely.
