Teacher Notes (not visible to students)
This is a great activity to show students that creativity takes time. These bins have buttons, pipe cleaners, and straws that have been cut into pieces. One bin can be shared with four students. Let students know that they can make anything they want using the materials in the bin. Tell the students they will have one minute to create and can only use what's inside the bin. Let them begin and stop them after 60 seconds. Have students share in their group what they created. Now, let the students create for ten minutes using the materials in the bin. After ten minutes have students share their creations in their group. What do they notice? They will use Seesaw to take a photo of their second creation. Then using the mic they can reflect on the experience. Are their creations the same or different? Can they always create fast or does it take time?
