Don't Blow Away
The students will work in groups to create a model of a roof that is able to survive a hurricane-like wind. Students learn about disaster preparedness, use the engineering design process to guide the construction of their model roof, and use technology to develop a presentation to give to the class. They are graded with a rubric.

This lesson is part 1 of 2. This lesson is set up to have students explore the friction bridge designed by Leonardo Da Vinci. Students first discover the inventor and become familiar with his life
Through guided lessons and research, students generate their own circuit review questions by creating a board game that requires designing and building several circuits.
In this lesson students learn about the simple machine screw, specifically the Archimedes Screw, and engineer a device that can lift a marble.
