S6: Apply Communications to Engineering

A Stop Motion Animated Movie with a Green Screen background based off of a Lego Challenge built in Lesson 1. Students will create a storyboard and script. This is Lesson 2 of 4 lessons.

Part 1 of a four-part series of lessons that begins with a Lego Challenge which will become the set for a stop motion video created by students.

This is a continuation of lessons 1, 2 and 3. Students will test their cars for distance and speed. Students will add weight to the car and test for distance and speed again to determine if their car

This is a continuation of lesson 1 and 2. Students will learn about kinetic vs. potential energy and apply that knowledge to their car designs.

This lesson is a continuation of lesson 1. Students will learn about Newton's Laws of motion and apply those concepts to their car designs.

Students learn about passive solar energy and design and build a model of a passive solar house.

Let the students experience being industrial or manufacturing engineers as they convince bag companies about the best plastic material to upcycle for a more sustainable bag option. Through the Plastic

Students work as engineers using the Engineering Design Process to design and create a parachute that will safely land a "rover" on Mars! This STEM activity uses easy-to-gather materials for parachute

In this engaging elementary school lesson, students use the engineering design cycle to identify and solve problems, incorporating technology while reflecting on their process and sharing their
