Solar Apple Dehydrator
The objective of this lesson is for students to use the design process to design their own solar dehydrator. When students are designing their own solar dehydrator, there are several key aspects they will consider to ensure an effective and efficient design such as:
Solar Collector Design
Air Circulation
Temperature Control
Drying Trays
Optimize Energy Efficiency
Documentation and Iteration
Students will need to conduct research to gather design ideas, however their design should be original. Students will design, build and test their dehydrator with apple slices. Students will present their project to a group of younger students, in an instructional format.

In this creative lesson, students engage in the Engineering Design Process and explore e-textiles by creating a light-up felt sugar skull.
In this lesson plan, students will make use of their knowledge about gravitational force and factors affecting it to design a stuffed mini parachute that will land the slowest from a given height
Students will create a Google slideshow presentation to document their progress through the engineering design process, which includes: researching the science of sound, then creating an instrument
