Ice Box Challenge
by Tracy Duray
In this hands-on lesson, students will test how long an ice cube takes to melt in the classroom. They will then design and build a structure that will prevent a 1-gram ice cube from melting completely in the time measured prior. Students will test their designs and do at least one rebuild to improve their results. They do a final test to determine which team was the most successful.

What would you do if you were dropped into the wilderness, with nothing but what you could fit into a backpack, and had to survive harsh weather, a hostile location, and possibly aggressive wildlife
Grades:
1st Grade, 2nd Grade, 3rd Grade, 4th Grade, 5th Grade
In this hands-on lesson, students explore engineering and art as they use the same materials as the three little pigs to create a structure that would survive the blowing of a wolf (fan). Students
