I am a 6th grade science teacher in Vancouver, WA, and am looking for another teacher willing to participate in the potato chip challenge. The activity is outlined on www.middleschoolscience.com and would only take a couple of days. Here's an overview of the activity: Students work in groups of 2-3 to design a package for a single Pringles potato chip. The packages are sent through the U.S. mail to the partner classroom. The rest of the details, scoring, packaging limitations, etc. are mentioned on this website. If you are interested in having your students participate with us, please e-mail me at sdrechsl@egreen.wednet.edu to let me know. I will contact you with more details. The further away from Vancouver, WA, the better, so that the packages have to travel farther. I am interested in doing this sometime in October or November.
