Were you able to retrieve the balloon? - Lesson Package - Lessons 1-5","","A classroom lesson package for Grades 9–12 exploring how failure can support learning and growth through a grounded, social-emotional approach. Educators invite students to reflect on the difference between a growth and fixed mindset, apply this thinking during teamwork activities (balloon retrieval and tower-building), and discuss feelings after unsuccessful attempts.
