Radioactive Orbs
by Arlette Johnson
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.
