Peter's Chair: An Engineering Challenge
Use the Engineering Design Process to solve Peter's problem! Students will use recycled materials to create their own chair for Peter. After introducing the Engineering Design Process, students will listen to the story "Peter's Chair". They will then identify Peter’s problem and offer solutions. Next, the class will develop criteria for the solution. They will imagine and plan the chair’s design, and then final create, test, and improve the chair.

This plan is meant for 3 days of work. Two books go with this plan. Two types of model rockets are included in this plan. Discussions and entries into a STEM Notebook are part of this plan.
This STEM lesson is designed to explore electrical circuits and engage in a hands-on activity to create, label, and identify the differences between parallel and series circuits. Students will develop
Students will use the engineering design process to plan and build a bridge that will hold the most amount of weight.
