Master Teacher lessons
Big Idea:
Even kindergarteners can participate in the engineering and design process in this challenge in which they try to keep an ice cube from melting.
Big Idea:
The students have previously participated in a design and engineering challenge. Now it is time for the student to see if they can improve their structures!
Big Idea:
Engineering elves apply their research from the last couple of lessons to design their own toy vehicle blue print.
Big Idea:
Why is wood important?
Big Idea:
Can you solve a communication problem using sound? Yes you can!
Big Idea:
Have you heard of Biomimicy? This amazing science is using nature to solve everyday problems! Check out how 1st grade students use this science to plan and design solutions to real problems!
Big Idea:
Pollination can be tricky for some plants, like the vanilla plant. We can use the engineering process to help us design our very own plant pollinator!
Big Idea:
Mission Possible! Engineers solve problems!
Big Idea:
We can learn about the engineering design process in a fun and entertaining way by reading a book about imaginative squirrels! Your kiddos will go nutty over the engineering design process!
Big Idea:
We can use triangles to make a gumdrop structure strong and stable.
Big Idea:
Can you solve problems? Let's research how light energy can help us to communicate with others!
Big Idea:
How do scientists make observations? Let's explore this idea and find out all of the different ways to observe.
Big Idea:
We can build a tower from plans that we have developed. Once built, we can measure the structure to see if it meets the specifications.
Big Idea:
Bye mama! Students view videos to learn about seed dispersal and make sketches to articulate seed attributes that make it possible for specific dispersal systems.
Big Idea:
Two scoops are better than one! We can work in teams to accomplish a task. First let's choose our best plan for our hand pollinators and then create a diagram of our new design.
