      Allow students to work independently or in small groups.  Provide legos and base plates for student use.  Differentiation may include the chance to design the entire room, or just the toy box.  Students would have an opportunity to visually present, or just set up the model.

    I plan to allow the students to design and build their toy boxes to scale.  I would model using legos (and legos could be provided to them for use as well.)  They would have an opportunity to layout the entire bedroom (to scale.)

      If I were to do this activity I would instead give the students a set of materials that they can use and have groups compete to use the same materials to design the best marshmallow launcher.  Before beginning, talk to students about strategies for solving this type of problem, such as sketching a plan of the design.

      One final thought, advanced student might enjoy learning about the formulas of projectile motion.

    This activity is a great starting point for a design contest in the classroom.
