This thematic unit has four lessons which introduce students to engineering, the engineering design process, and facing challenges. Over the course of the four lessons, students will learn how to

When Res is hurling towards Mars, he needs a parachute that will help him land safely. Can you design a parachute that will help Res land safely on Mars? Students will design a parachute using coffee

Could Iron Man actually survive a superhero landing? In this lesson, students follow the engineering design process to create a "suit" for an egg to protect it from being dropped on the ground. They
