A Slippery Slope (Don't Fall!)
The lesson is primarily about building a Lego or any block tower with a good foundation. This can be done in a group of 5 - 7 students. In my case I am considering 7th and 8th grade class to perform the activity as this requires solving angles of slope. The title of the lesson is " Slippery Slope, Don't Fall". The lesson activity is divided into introduction - where giving information on the tallest building in the world and getting to know about Geotechnical Engineers and their work. The second part is building a slope and testing the tower. Finally, recording the data of how strong the tower by making 1 block depth and 2 blocks depth. Checking the data and solving the angle of slopes to better build a strong tower are really important in this lesson.

In this hands-on lesson, students will be challenged to complete an obstacle course with a Sphero/RVR/Edison through coding. Students will be given a task list to complete and will be timed. Math
Students will continue from their research and start an investigation to help with their solution. They will first learn about compost and what it does. They will then develop and investigation and
Engineers often create small-size models of a new product to test its design. This is especially true with airplanes. Model testing tells engineers how a design responds to different air conditions
