S2: Apply the Engineering Design Process

From learning the basics of the endocrine system (organs) to creating a 3d visual model of a patient and demonstrating how hormones are released across the body, students will go from simple to

Students will pick an issue that they think exists in the world and propose a solution via a presentation. This will model a TedTalk.

In this project, students practice using scale by designing and crafting items for a model bedroom using a 1:12 scale ratio. They learn how to accurately shrink real-world dimensions down to miniature

Students learn about the gila woodpecker as well as the 5 S's of birdwatching. Students then make observations of birds in their schoolyard, summarize the findings on a graph and slideshow, and design

Explore the concepts of force and energy transfer by launching rockets of varying weights and observing the resulting flight distances. Gather numerical data on the flight distances of the rockets and

Students will: Construct a pool noodle rocket flinger using provided materials, demonstrating an understanding of the design principles involved. Explore the concepts of force and energy transfer by

Discuss with students how the size and shape of a structure helps to make different areas and shapes of shade. You might briefly discuss how some structures block the sunlight from the top only, while

In this lesson, students will explore the concept of reflection in mathematics through the creation and design or original Rangoli patterns. Students will gain an understanding of reflectional

Students use the engineering design process and recycled materials to create a plant float. Can be paired with Fix the Fish lesson if more chemistry and life sciences topics are desired.
