In this engaging and interactive lesson, students explore adaptation and creative problem-solving. Inspired by "The Great Turkey Race," students will engage in a hands-on engineering lesson to design
Students will explore the drought in Arizona and design a solution for it. They will create their design in a 3D design program, write an informational paper, and present the design and information to
Students will read the story "If I Built a House" and then record their elements of the story on index cards. Next they will design and build a House of Cards using index cards.
This is the 3rd lesson in a 4 part roller coaster project for 6th grade. In this lesson, students will design and build a roller coaster that fits the criteria and follows a budget. Students will
Students will use the projects from lessons 2 and 3 to analyze the data of the electric cars they made. They will identify the variables in their cars and plan improvements to their designs.
This lesson uses the knowledge of circuits (lessons 1 and 2) to make a battery-powered car. We used a tutorial from Tinkercad and designed our own body of a car. Then, I printed their cars. They
This lesson shows how to make an electric car using a small motor and battery. Students created a car, attached a battery and on/off switch, and collected data. The data collection sheet is included
Students will create a Google slideshow presentation to document their progress through the engineering design process, which includes: researching the science of sound, then creating an instrument
This lesson focuses on using the engineering design process and simple machines to design a device that the students can use to safely transport radioactive orbs across the span of 8 feet. Students
