S5: Apply Technology to Engineering

In this 3rd and final lesson in a series of 3, students examine prior knowledge about the real-world problem of the Great Pacific Garbage Patch and apply their findings to design solutions. Students

This lesson plan will introduce students to the basics of 3D modeling and design using Tinkercad. Materials: Computers with internet access Tinkercad accounts for each student (if your school does not

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

In this unit, students will study the effects of air pollution and engineer an environmentally friendly air filter to reduce pollutants in the air using common household items and recycled materials

In this unit, students will study the effects of acid rain and chemically engineer an environmentally friendly solution to neutralize the acid in a simulated river contaminated by factory run-off

Students will construct a model of an ocean habitat to simulate an oil spill. They will then make observations about the behavior of the oil in the water and on the various items in the habitat model

This lesson will explore aerodynamics, rocketry, and principles of space flights. Students will act as engineers. Their job is to research, plan, design, and build a water bottle rocket that will
