Exploring Water and Buoyancy
Students will understand the concept and properties of buoyancy and density, through a hands-on exploration with the Lakeshore Design and Play STEAM Kit Boats by assembling boats using a foam hull, sails, dowels, and foam blocks. Students will apply problem-solving skills and creativity to design and modify the kit boat to achieve a specific goal of having it float and sail in water.
Students will also collaborate and communicate effectively with peers during the design and testing process.

This unit has lessons which will introduce students to phenomena we encounter in the real world. Students will learn about high interest phenomenon through hands-on investigations. Students will
Students will use their knowledge of Newton's Laws of Motion to design and build a "ski jump" for a Sphero Bolt. This activity can be used for Science, Social Studies, Engineering, and (possibly)
In this hands-on engineering and science project, students will become earthquake engineers tasked with designing and constructing earthquake-proof structures using toothpicks and mini marshmallows
