 * Preparation for lesson: Assembly Line Stations - "Burger" Cookies

1.For each station on the assembly line, have an index card with the station’s task.

Station 1: Put one vanilla wafer upside down on a paper plate. Station 2: Squeeze yellow frosting on a vanilla wafer (to represent the mustard and bottom of bun) Station 3: Top mustard with green-tinted coconut (lettuce) Station 4: Top lettuce with thin mint cookie (burger) Station 5: Squeeze red frosting on another vanilla water (ketchup and top of bun) add to top of hamburger.

2.Position several desks in a row at the top of the room. Attach an index card, with its specific task, to each desk.

3.Place the following materials on each desk:

Station 1: Vanilla wafer cookies (2 per student) and small paper plates (2 per student) Station 2: Tube yellow cake frosting Station 3: ½ cup flaked coconut tinted green Station 4: Thin chocolate mint cookies (2 per student) Station 5: Tube of red cake frosting; vanilla wafers (2 per student) Procedure:

Remind students that the goal of assembly lines in to produce quality products in a shorter amount of time. Before assembly lines, products were made by hand by one worker. Using the materials listed above, set a timer and demonstrate how to make hamburger. Write the time it took for one person to make one burger. Ask students to make a prediction about how long they think it will take five students on an assembly line to make one burger.

Record the predictions on the board and choose five students to go to the stations. Time the students as they make one burger following the instructions at each station. Record actual time it took and compare with prediction. Then, restart the timer and have the assembly line make 9 more burgers. Call up 5 more volunteers and time them as they complete 10 burgers. Record results.

Continue until each student has participated in the assembly and congratulate team with the shortest time. ||
