How high can you pull a possum?

Act One

  • Teacher note
    Ask children to develop "vital" questions. They can do this as a small group.

    As a class children need to develop 3 vital questions to which you can give them answers.
  • Teacher note
    I gave the students the following assumptions.

    1. The rope is 60 meters long.

    2 the person at the base of the pole is 1.75cm tall.

    3. The treated pine logs are 20 meters tall.

    Make the children work for the answers. Do not just give them the answers, make them develop the questions.

    Butchers paper.

    Rulers (if asked for)
