Building Bridges
Students will use engineering practices to build a bridge to see how much weight their bridge will support. This lesson gives students a better understanding of how bridges are constructed and how bridges and designs are tested.

Students will listen to the story "Iggy Peck Architect" and create a bridge using available materials to see if it can carry weight. They will explore engineering as they plan, construct, and test
After learning about solar, students will create a solar-powered device that can be used by the community. Students work in groups to engineer a device and present the final product to the class.
Students will use solar panels to transfer solar energy to a fountain. Students will be able to explore and demonstrate the functioning of a solar energy fountain.
