Owning Our Space
by Jule Abeytia
Using the engineering design process, students will identify a structural or spatial problem on their school campus and then plan, design, evaluate and redesign a structural and spatial solution while applying the grade-appropriate understanding of area and perimeter and correctly calculating those measurements for their model and the real life application.

In this hands-on lesson, students explore engineering and art as they use the same materials as the three little pigs to create a structure that would survive the blowing of a wolf (fan). Students
Grades:
3rd Grade
Students will learn about Newton's Third Law of Motion and practice this law by using the engineering design process to create a paper jet engine using a balloon.
