This is a good activity for driving innovation and critical thinking.
It contains an easy-to-follow teacher guide for steering the class discussion.
Additional Prerequisites
The activity is based on a book, which should be downloaded and printed or made available digitally.
To anchor the group discussions better, the teachers should review the suggested solutions provided in the teacher guide.
Differentiation
Teachers could structure this as a debate and have groups speak for or against one of the potential solutions. In the end, students could vote for the solution they think is best.
Instead of reading the book as a class, it could be read independently or as homework.
Teachers could have students write a summary of the solutions discussed or choose one solution to write about persuasively.
For more information about this topic, students can watch the video Solving the Storage Problem by NOVA labs.
