Peter's Chair: An Engineering Challenge
Use the Engineering Design Process to solve Peter's problem! Students will use recycled materials to create their own chair for Peter. After introducing the Engineering Design Process, students will listen to the story "Peter's Chair". They will then identify Peter’s problem and offer solutions. Next, the class will develop criteria for the solution. They will imagine and plan the chair’s design, and then final create, test, and improve the chair.

This engaging lesson is a perfect culminating project for a kindergarten unit on exploring the five senses. In this hands-on lesson, students will create an evaluate a sensory extension tool.
This is a multi-day project using the Engineering Design Process where students build and test a machine using at least 5 simple machines and identify all the energy transformations that occur in
