Problem-based Learning The Motivation to Learn Begins with a Problem In a problem-based learning (PBL) model, students engage complex, challenging problems and collaboratively work toward their resolution. PBL is about students connecting disciplinary knowledge to real-world problems—the motivation to solve a problem becomes the motivation to learn. http://www.udel.edu/inst/

You’ve Got to Be Kittying!!! Using the materials you are given, design a delivery device that will move as many Valentines from one part of your table to the delivery bag as possible in one minute. Rules: • The delivery bag must be standing throughout your attempt. • No part of the delivery device can touch the bag. • The table contact of the delivery device must remain stationary during the entire delivery process. • No person may touch the Valentine once it leaves the “from” part of your table. • No person may touch the delivery bag once your trial has started. • No part of a person may be in the “measured area” between the bag and the device. • Valentines, bags, and rulers may not be permanently altered. • You will be scored using a formula • For each delivered card: 1 x cm between nearest table contact of bag and table contact of delivery device. • If you run out of cards, the clock will be stopped long enough for a judge (or designee) to remove the delivered cards so you can continue.
