Thrill Ride O’Love STEM Challenge-Engineering a Shield Retrieval
In this exciting lesson, students will use the engineering design process to devise an alternative method for retrieving the shield of Ares from Hephaestus' trap, as depicted in Chapter 15 of "Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief". They will apply critical thinking, problem-solving, and collaboration skills to construct a functional and creative solution.
Encourage open-ended thinking and collaboration throughout the process. Emphasize the importance of teamwork, iterative design, and reflection to foster a growth mindset.

Students will design a balloon rocket. They will then create a fish line track for the rocket to follow. The track will be able to me modified to test different angles of ascent. This will allow
Go through different STEM, reading, and writing activities with Roz and her friends in The Wild Robot. Students will problem solve, participate in discussions, and learn about artificial intelligence
