Tsunami's Coming Your Way!
by Jaime Hansen
Students in 4th grade learned about natural disasters through this interactive STEM lesson focused on the creation on a 'tsunami-proof' home. Students used the Engineering Design Process to create a structure that would outlast a tsunami using limited resources, a budget, and other limitations. #STEM #EDP
