Students will listen to Iggy Peck Architect by Andrea Beaty and describe what an architect does, engineering and the design process. Students will be able to design and engineer a strong bridge. They
Students get a tst of building with non-traditional building materials. Afterwards, a brief description of columns and why they are useful/strong is given. Students then complete a second, simpler
Understand geometric concepts such as shapes, angles, and symmetry. Apply engineering and design principles to create structures using Magna-Tiles. Develop problem-solving and critical-thinking skills
Students will build a bridge out of toothpicks or craft sticks by using gum drops, marshmallows, and/or wood glue. The purpose is to have it stay upright between two chairs without breaking. Students
In this lesson students will discover the best angle that will produce the fastest speed for a hot wheel vehicle when traveling 1 meter. Students will also practice calculating speed (speed=distance
In this lesson, students will test Earth's gravity and how gravity affects objects of different masses. Students will see that mass does not have an effect but instead air resistance is what causes
In this lesson students will evaluate if mass affects the velocity of an object when dropped from a certain height.
Students are challenged with making a simple hoop glider and then altering it to achieve the greatest possible distance before being given the opportunity to change hoop materials and achieve the
In this lesson students will use the Engineering Design Process to build a zipline carrier that will take their passenger down the zipline in a given time period, adjusting and altering their design
