Summary
Fifth grade students will collaborate on selecting tools for a difficult situation, a sinking ship. The students take on different roles and will need to make a unified decision within a short time frame. They will have 10 minutes to select 10 items to take with them on a lifeboat until they are rescued. Once the decision is made, they must provide rationale for their choices. They may use any platform available, to present the rationale. Teamwork is challenging for many people.
