Year 4 Squashed Tomato Challenge

How do the farmers in Nepal transport their precious tomato crop from the top of the mountain where the soil is so fertile, to the bottom of the mountain where the market is? This was the challenge that year 4 worked on during the Practical Action Squashed Tomato Challenge. They had to use their teamwork and problem solving skills to ensure that not a single tomato was squashed. After the challenge we were able to find out how the Nepalese farmers tackle the problem, in not so very a different way to year 4! Well done girls – your designs were terrific!
