Problem solving as a group is very different. When you work by yourself you don't really have to worry about anyone else you can just go do it. When working in a group you need to communicate. One type of problem solving we used was guess and check. We used this when working in our dig sites and looking for bones. You had to communicate with your group where you had already searched and whether or not you had found a bone. Another time we used problem solving and communication was when we were constructing our fossil. You needed to see if certain bones fit in certain places and then you needed to talk to your group and decide who was going to be putting it together. Individual problem solving would have been when we were looking for information for our display. It was easier because there was no one else in your way, you just could go do it.
My job for the fossil display was creating a list of the tools we used and how we used them. I had to take snap shots of all the tools we used. I was able to decide on the credible information because I had my own experiences to draw from because I had used all of the tools.
If you took any fast food establishment from the United States and put it in a different country it would probably not be as powerful. This is because in places outside of the United States people don't like to eat fast food as much and often prefer family meals.
