Since the professor defined our goal, our group started with step 2 and bypassed step 1. At step2, we started to gather resources and information to come up with a plan. We had a person who knew what we had to do to accomplish our goal. We decided to follow his plan.
However, at step 3, instead of just following his plan, we came up with different idea. We imagined each ideas that we thought of and picked the one that we all agreed on. We thought that our new plan was going to keep our egg safe. We started to sketch our model. Actually, this took the longest and we had a hard time picking the model. However, we did come up with a model that we all agreed on to use.
It was time for us to build an actual model. We were at step 4. The girl who drew the model built the actual model, since she knew exactly how it was supposed to look like. Rest of us were trying to help her out by holding the straws and tapes.
Finally, it was time for us to drop the egg. We were at step 5. Unfortunately, our egg didn't make it but we were very close at saving our egg. Overall, it wasn't bad as other ones but we did not accomplish our goal. I thought that we putted lot of time on skeching the model and relied on one person too much. We didn't put the most effort as a group to accomplish our goal. .
Also, when we were building the actual model, we did not divided the work evenly and allow other members in the group to contribute.

My group faced similar issues. One person did the model, same person had the idea, same person basically built and everyone helped. I however think that it is excellent that you guys managed to work through all of your ideas and filter through to the final model that you all agreed on. My team didnt really do that; we went straight to the first/second idea and built on that. I think if we did more of what your team did in the brainstorming process, we might have gotten further with billy. :/
