Riassunto:

Teachers, do you have some budding engineers in your classroom? Or want some fun, hands-on projects your kids will enjoy?

This book contains ten engineering projects for kids where they will learn the engineering design process while building, tinkering, and mixing. For each project, students will work in small groups to design a solution to a problem, then revise their designs to make them even better.

All projects are made with common household materials - no need to purchase anything!

This book contains the following projects:

• Spaghetti Structures
• Water Filters
• Best Play Dough
• Suspension Bridges
• Bubbles and Wands
• Mini Basketball Games
• Wind Chimes
• Minigolf Course
• Arcade
• Snack Grabber

Each resource includes a comprehensive lesson plan with:

• A note to the teacher
• Objectives
• Materials
• Vocabulary
• Introduction
• Engineering Challenge
• Group work guidance with student instructions and response sheets
• Project Testing
• Class Discussion
• Conclusion
• Extension ideas and resources

These engaging STEM activities will keep students active and engaged in learning! These lessons are designed to integrate science, vocabulary, and problem-solving skills in the process of learning the engineering design process. You will be amazed at what your students come up with.

These lessons work well for:

• Engineering or science units
• Afterschool clubs
• GATE (Gifted and Talented) programs
• Rainy day recess
• Makerspaces
• Project-based learning schools

This book is designed for teachers who work with kids in grades 3-5. These are the kinds of activities that many of us wish we could have experienced when we were in upper elementary school ourselves. Here's hoping they spark the imagination of some future engineers or inventors!
