S3: Apply Mathematics to Engineering

In this activity, students will make a model of the planets in the solar system and specifically model their distances to scale. Materials: Model of the Solar System-plastic 3D model String Push pins

Students will individually construct straw rockets. Using the launcher, students will learn the concept of Newton's third law of motion: for every action, there is a equal and opposite reaction

Summary: In groups students will construct a Rube Goldberg device made completely out of found objects that includes at least 5 simple machines and students will identify the energy transformations

Students will learn about the physics of motion and force and use those to create a mini-golf course hole that has obstacles and an environmental awareness theme.

Students will be able to observe and recognize that a thermometer is a device that is used to measure a change in temperature.

Students will learn how to construct a moving car robot and program the robot using block-based coding. They will be successful when they have coded the car robot through a maze, they created, without

In groups students will construct a roller coaster made completely out of paper that a marble can travel on. The goal is to have the "ride" last for a longer time than other and be able to explain the

In this unit, students will study the effects of atmospheric pressure and air resistance on objects to engineer a landing apparatus to land cargo in space. They will then write a Claim based on

Students will use knowledge of translation, rotation and reflection to create unique 3d designs. Students will be designing backpack tags using geometry principals on graph paper, then transferring
