Engineering Design Process

The students will be working and pretending that they work for an engineering company that is designing a bridge. The Department of Transportation wants to see a model of the bridge, so they will be

Students are put into groups of 3 or 4. As a group they create an animal cell model and then create a slide show naming and describing the organelles of an animal cell.

How can you get objects from one location to a specific dropping point using a cable? Students utilize the Engineering Design Process and their learning of Newton's Laws of Motion, slope, mass and

Engineering of the traditional and contemporary Navajo/Diné Hogan using the sun's light to produce electricity. Students create a model of the Navajo/Diné hogan and incorporate solar energy concepts.

Students will construct a rocket by exploring the relationship of the mass in the nose cone to the success of a launch. Students will learn about "center of mass' and how to find it, as well as the

Students will use the engineering design process to plan and build a bridge that will hold the most amount of weight.

Notes Prerequisites: This lesson requires prior experience with Edison Robots. Context: This lesson can be taught to a single class or used in an after-school coding/robotics club. Students should be

This activity can be classified as Performance Based Learning. Student teams take on the role of engineers as they redesign existing packaging that is already in the market. The math focus is on

In this hands-on lesson, students will construct a sturdy structure out of toothpicks and marshmallows that will withstand an earthquake simulation (a tray of Jello is used). This is an engaging way
