Radioactive Orbs
This lesson focuses on using the engineering design process and simple machines to design a device that the students can use to safely transport radioactive orbs across the span of 8 feet. Students will need to work collaboratively and will have time and material constraints to complete the task. This lesson has students use a poster template to fill in as a rough draft to create a presentation poster. This poster can be used to create a digital brochure or a plan for opinion writing.

Simple Machines Save the Day
In this lesson students read about simple machines and learn that simple machines make it easier to lift or move things and that they can change direction and magnitude of force. Students use Legos to
Students will build an ice snowman and a house for him to live in. They will collaborate to design a structure to keep him from melting. This project uses basic materials to study insulation and
