A. Review
1. Let students describe how useful their science lessons had been and the skills
they have learned.
B. Lesson/Activity Proper
1. Group students and give specific roles to each member of the group. A group
with five members is a good size.
2. Introduce problem solving activity. Be very clear about the task. [You may
vary activities from class to class]
C. Generalization
1. How can you apply problem-solving skills in daily life?
D. Value integration
1. working cooperatively in groups
2. positive attitudes towards Physics and technology
3. open-mindedness

Problem Situation:
Task:
Design and construct a container that prevents the frozen product (ice cup) from
melting using only the following materials:
1 piece of cardboard
1 whole sheet newspaper
1 meter sticky tape
Task:
Rules:
1. Each team shall be given a piece of aluminum foil not more than 30 cm-long. The
team may opt not to use all of the aluminum foil for the task.
2. The barge design and construction time should only take 20 min.
3. The barge should only be made from the aluminum foil. Glue, tape, paper clips or
adhesives are not allowed.
4. The barge shall be loaded while it is floating on a basin of water. The barge is
considered to have sunk if water leaks into the barge while it is being loaded.
Task:
Rules:
1. Each entry shall be given 30 minutes to design and construct their shelter.
2. The shelter shall be judged according to the following criteria:
Procedure:
1. Design and construct a bridge that is about 5 cm high, 5 cm wide and has a span
of about 25 cm. The bridge should be able to support a load equivalent to the
weight of a five-peso coin.
