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 lesson uses a diagram of a football being punted to demonstrate the forces of motion and the transfer of energy. Students are then challenged to apply what they learned to engineer a mechanical
In this physics lesson, students will explore force, motion, kinetic energy and potential energy through projects and gameplay. They create a prototype of a cup and ball game using the engineering
In this creative and engaging lesson, students will listen to the read-aloud, "The Most Magnificent Thing" by A. Spires and complete a STEM challenge. Students engineer a doghouse with moving parts
