Moving Towards Extinction

Problem Solving

The Challenge

For all group members to have both feet inside any circle at various times during this activity. Begin the activity with about a dozen circles, and remove at least one each turn, until only one circle remains. Each time the facilitator calls, "check-in," group members must place both feet inside a circle. After this, participants begin to mingle about in the general area of the circles, waiting for the next check-in time. Reinforce the basic requirement that both feet must be within the circle every so often.

Typical Presentation, Storyline or Metaphor

Your team has been assembled to review a startling occurrence in the rain forest. It appears as if a vital link in the food chain is becoming extinct. A blue-green moss which provides food for much of the local wildlife is starting to disappear. Your team arrives and immediately begins to look for the circles of this moss growing in the surrounding area. At specific times, your group pauses to check in, and to count the number of moss patches observed. During each check in time, each scientist must have both feet within one of the moss circles.
