Wild Robot Literacy PBL Unit Plan
Using The Wild Robot by Peter Brown as provocation, students will develop a project integrating math, science, engineering and ELA standards. Students will build a robot prototype and take it through several design changes as the story in the book progresses. They will learn about animal adaptations, prosthetic limbs, area and perimeter, and context clues.

Students will use live seedlings and available information about seedling and the Sun's energy to determine the best location for the plant to thrive.
This thematic unit has four lessons which will introduce students to engineering, the engineering design process, and facing challenges. Over the course of the four lessons, student will learn how to
In this lesson students will discuss why they would use a 3D printer to create a planter pot? Students will also brainstorm "What features are important for a planter pot?" Finally students will
