    The students will build three 1-meter pipelines out of paper, cardboard, and plastic to transport water between two buckets. In groups of four, they will design each pipeline, build them according to their designs, and test each pipeline by pouring 10cm of water through it and measuring how much water comes out the other end over three tests. The goal is to determine which material makes the most durable and effective pipeline to transport the most water from one source to another with the least maintenance over time.

    BUILDING A PIPELINE

    INTRODUCTION: Water is transported around the city through pipes. The


    plumbers have been testing out which materials are the most durable, when
    carrying water from one source to another. To make the plumbers job easier, you
    will need to figure out which material will need the least maintenance over time
    and will carry the most water from one source to another.

    BRIEF PROCEDURE
    In groups of 4, you will need to build three To successfully complete this activity in
    different 1 metre pipelines made of three your groups you will need to think about
    different materials; paper, cardboard and project management within you group.

    materials so that they can carry as much
    water as possible from one source to 1. The first task is to brainstorm in your

    effectively carry water and research this

    DESIGN online, you will then need to draw up a


    design.
    In your groups, you will need to brainstorm 2. Next, you will need to gather your
    and draw up the three different designs materials and construct your pipelines.
    and then build each of these designs out of Remember you need to ensure each

    effectively use these materials

    EVALUATING
    PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS
    Test your pipelines! Pour 10cm of water
    You need to design three 1m pipelines out down your pipeline and measure how much
    of paper, cardboard and plastic. Each comes out the other end using counters.

    pipeline you have built.
    In order to build your pipelines you will
    need to use a variety of materials: buckets,
