Can you save Fred?
Your job is to place the life preserver
firmly around Fred’s body, but you
must follow these rules:
 Fred may NOT fall into the “sea” (onto
the table) more than once. If he does,
he has “drowned.”
 You may not injure him in anyway.
 You may only use four paper clips to
move Fred, the boat and the life
preserver – that means no touching!
After you saved Fred

Explain the procedure that you
and your partner(s) used to save
Fred.

Open your paperclips to form tonglike objects.
One person use their “tongs” to
hold Fred.
The other person use their tongs to
move the “boat” and pick up the
“life preserver.”
Using your “tongs” to hold Fred and
the “life preserver”, put the “life
preserver” on Fred.
