10. Team Activity #1
Build Lemonade Supply Chain

11. Lemonade Supply Chain
What ingredients do we need to source for lemonade?
Water, Sugar, Lemon Juice, and Ice are Key links for our Lemonade Supply Chain……….but they represent just a small part of our chain.
For our First Activity – we will build a human lemonade supply chain!
We will break into “themed “ teams
Each Team will figure out the link order to make its portion of the chain
Each of you will have a unique link (card) in the chain
Then we will create the entire supply chain team by team in front of the class
We will stay standing until the entire supply chain has been created.

12. Class Teams Team 1: Lemon (4 students)
Team 2: Water & Ice (6 students)
Team 3: Sugar (4 students)
Team 4: Lemonade Distribution (5 students)
Team 5: Transportation (5 students)
Team 6: People (7 students)
Your Job: Figure out the order of the supply chain for your team!

What kind of climate is needed to grow a lemon tree? Sugar Beets? Sugar Cane?
What states are best to grow sugar beets, sugar cane, and lemons?
Could lemons, sugar beets or sugar cane grow in Michigan? Minnesota? Florida? Arizona?

17. Class Discussion: Water Cycle
Where does water for lemonade come from?
How old is this water?

18. Class Discussion: Lemonade Needs Lemon S.T.E.M.!
How much juice can you get from one lemon?
How many lemons are needed to make enough lemon juice for lemonade?
How much does one lemon weigh?
How much will a shipping box weigh if it is filled with lemons?
How many lemons will fit into one shipping box?
How much space does one lemon take up?
Is every single lemon the same size, shape, and weight?
How can we easily compare lemons if they are all different?
We’ll do experiments in our teams to help answer these questions!

Pour one small cup for each person in the class.
Place your unique color post it on your table.
Clean your table area.
Taste test your own lemonade.
Discuss as a team – did you make a good design?

30. Team Activity #7 & 8
Lemonade Taste Test Histogram
Design Win Results

31. Design Win: Taste Test Histogram
Instructions
There should be 5 tables with approximately 30 small cups of lemonade at each team’s table. Each flavor will have a unique color/design of post-it note.
Rotate by your small teams from table to table and taste each team’s lemonade.
Remember the ONE lemonade flavor you like the best, and which team it came from.
After you have tasted all of the lemonade flavors, cast your winning vote by picking up one sticky note from that team’s table, and putting it on the proper column in the histogram. Make sure you don’t cover up any sticky notes. Sit back down at your team’s table after you have voted.
Clean up your table.
Discuss:
Which is the best recipe? Which team won with the most votes? Can we easily tell?
How can we reuse/recycle lemonade materials?

32. Design Win: Taste Test Histogram

38. Key Learnings from Phase 2 pilot
If doing multiple classes at the same time, pre-sort all of your materials (reusable & consumables) for each class in advance (prior to arriving at the school) to ensure you have everything you need ready/handy to do the activity for each of the classrooms. (otherwise materials just get grabbed and leave some classes short).
Difficult to get this activity done in 2 hours; extending time allotment for 2.5 hours.
Need to ensure that the summary/wrap up happens – this pulls the activity together. Better to skip histogram and do the wrap up if running short on time.
Human Lemonade Supply Chain:
Many classrooms will not have sufficient space to build the entire chain at once. If this is the case, have each team come up individually to build their link, then sit down and the next team comes up.
Transportation: students will need help understanding how and where transportation fits into the supply chain. Help each student to identify a location where their individual mode of transportation would fit – and let them know there could be many different locations. For example – a truck could take lemons to the lemon juice factory, or it could bring lemonade from the warehouse to the grocery store.

39. Key Learnings from Phase 2 pilot
Partner with the classroom teacher, and have them be actively engaged in the activity (help to divide teams, keep class control, etc.). Also ask the teacher what method they use to quickly get the students attention (certain clap, etc.). Expect class to get noisy as they break into teams and start to have fun with the science experiments.
Safety: Be very careful with the hot water. Hotpot heats up very rapidly and should be kept at low setting. Only adults should handle/pour the hot water. Only use heat safe cups for sugar dissolution experiment (i.e. Styrofoam).
Crazy flavor adds – such as snow cone syrup –create a lot of fun in the classroom for custom lemonade. But students will gravitate towards it as their favorite lemonade, and then histogram becomes severely 1 sided.
Off season lemons have barely any juice and render the “yield” experiment worthless. Best option is to do this activity during peak lemon season with very juicy lemons; another option is to simulate the yield experiment with water.
