Students will create a flying machine that will hold a pilot, travel down a zipline, and meet other constraints. This is paired with the book Rosie Revere, Engineer or can be used as a fun intro to

In this 7 week unit, students will utilize resources around them to create a garden for a culminating taco party! Students will work on science, math, and ELA within the unit. Feel free to host this

Students are presented with a real-world problem, the newly poured delivery ramp for the cafeteria is too slick, students are tasked with suggesting a surfacing that will increase the ramp's safety
