Challenge Week -- Turtle Shell Bridge

The 4th and 5th grade classes completed another challenge week. This challenge involved crossing a piranha infested tributary of the Amazon River. The group's goal was to cross the river without touching it. The whole group and all of the equipment needed to get across. If anyone touched, then the whole group needed to start over. The students needed to balance on the "turtle shells" left over from the piranha feeding frenzy. They could use two "sticks" to help along the way.

Here is a short video clip of the kids in action.
