Catchers &#8211; Engineering\/CDT:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The next challenge was to design a creature catcher web that would be capable of trapping creepy crawlies when lifted up after they had been placed on its surface. \u00a0The winning team would be the one that had the least amount of creatures fall through the net and escape the spider\u2019s web.<\/p>\n<p>The most problematic area was how to construct a frame with which to create the net.\u00a0 Once the children overcame that, they quickly found efficient methods of weaving a network grid to capture the creepy creatures.<\/p>\n<p>To test our creature catchers, we placed 20 creepy crawlies on top of each catcher and lifted it to see how many would fall through.\u00a0 We had great results with only a quarter falling through on one design and zero falling through on each of the others.\u00a0 We discussed why more fell through on the one catcher and determined that there were more gaps on that mesh as the weave was only in one direction.\u00a0 We reviewed and reflected on how to improve the efficiency of that design.\u00a0 It was a great learning activity for all.<\/p>\n<div id='gallery-3' class='gallery galleryid-7136
