An Amazing Race
Students utilize the Engineering Design Process to create a sailboat!
Students must design and build a sailboat that will get them from one end of the channel where they are stranded to the other. It is like the Amazing Race for STEM! This activity incorporates concepts of matter being made up of particles too small to see, forces and motion with an emphasis on buoyancy, and 3 ELA standards.

In this lesson students will learn about water filtration and how to filter simulated Martian water. Students will build water filters and use the engineering design process. This is the 2nd lesson in
This hands-on and engaging lesson followed a unit on the Gingerbread Man. Students were challenged to build a bridge to get the Gingerbread Man safely across the body of water, so he doesn't get eaten
