New participant

Any advice from those of you who have participated before on how to get started? Also, how are you grading your students?

Thanks!

I grade them as a lab report. There's a problem: "What's the best way to send a single Pringles Potato Chip to a school located approx. 500 miles away?" Then they must state a hypothesis, independent and dependent variable, write a DETAILED procedure as they assemble the package, Results include mass and volume, (we add final score later), discussion of error, two things you learned about designing a package from doing the Pringles Challenge.
