Ponderosa Pine Forests Part 2: Duff Collection Engineering
This is the second part of this unit on the duff layer in a forest. After learning after duff and its potential impact on forest fires in the last lesson, students will be following the engineering process to create something to collect some of the excess duff in a forest. Students will be designing, testing and reflecting, and redesigning their inventions. Then students will get to weigh the amount of duff their invention collects using a scale and then students will find the average of their data. Finally students will present their invention and data with the class.

In this lesson, students create paper rockets and measure the distance launched. Students are using the engineering design process and are provided time to modify their design in order to increase the
Students will investigate the properties of different types of matter and apply the concept of "P1: Matter" to design, model, and 3D print an object using a MakerBot 3D printer. Hands-On STEM Design
This lesson was designed because students love to compete, and it primes them to use the Engineering Design process to build a boat and revise their design as needed. Students must use at least one
