Students will use the engineering design process to complete 3 challenges. Each challenge gathers data and collects their engineering changes necessary to complete the challenge.
This is a multi-day project using the Engineering Design Process where students build and test a machine using at least 5 simple machines and identify all the energy transformations that occur in
Students explore how circuitry works with a hands-on lesson where they design and build their own working pressure plate. The use of a MakeyMakey is incorporated with helpful video resources and
