Sprinklers for Agriculture
by Kelly Zamudio
In this hands-on lesson, students work with a partner to construct a functioning, usable sprinkler. Students use basic principles of engineering to create this prototype and test it out for adequate water pressure. They also reflect on the use of sprinklers within agriculture and are graded with a rubric.
