Animal Prosthetics
by Rose Harvey
This project sets students up to explore animal anatomy and physiology with the idea of replacing a lost appendage (beak, leg, tail, fin, etc.) This is used in small groups of 2 or 3 over the course of several weeks and students will be writing and researching, completing scale models and prototypes, and finally designing on Tinkercad and using a 3D printer to create it.

Grades:
4th Grade
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
Grades:
6th Grade
In this unit, students will study the effects of acid rain and chemically engineer an environmentally friendly solution to neutralize the acid in a simulated river contaminated by factory run-off
Grades:
8th Grade, 9th Grade, 10th Grade, 11th Grade, 12th Grade
A lesson designed for an engineering course but that can be used in a science course where we investigate the physics of waves and how it can be applied to the world of art. Students will design and
