In this activity we learned the principles of electricity and how to apply them. Students were assigned to create a glow stick without any directions. Students learned to:
Students created a catapult and calculated the average of the distance it traveled. Students created a "wall' to support an egg. Students had to think about geometric shapes and which shape will evenly distribute the mass of the egg.
In engineering class I learned to use teamwork.I helped build shipping containers.I also used a lot of dialog and I communicated with my friends.We called Cathy and asked her questions about our shipping container.We insulated our design. I imagined how to build the shipping containers
By Aaron. In engineering class we learned how to insulate. Insulate means how to keep the temperature outside and not effect the temperature inside. we also made a box and we insulated it and we put it in the refrigerator to see which box will work better. We also had a problem that lots of people were ding and they were sleeping outside and they got arrested so we are working on it. We also talked to Grassroots program that helped us understand more about the importance for shelters for everyone. By Ilana In engineering class we learned how to work in teamwork we also learned to insulate. Insulate means to keep temperature good so people can survive . WE ALSO LEARNED TO EXPLAIN OUR FEELINGS. WE ALSO HAD A PROBLEM THE PROBLEM WAS THAT A LOT OF PEOPLE WHERE DIEING. Because they where sleeping outside and that was against the rules so we where trying to help them this is how we helped them we split in to two groups with my engineering friends each of our groups got to talk to a lady called Kathy she made a home shelter for the people. I wanted to make a change. We thought and designed different ways that we can improve this situation. By: Sabrina In engineering class I learned how to use team work. I also learned how to dialogue and how to communicate with my friends.I helped my friends design a shipping container. We saw how the temperature effected the containers. We had to compare different temperature. My 2 friends Mark and Aaron were on team. I used team work the most while building shipping container. I had how I want the design to be. They agreed with me and we were successful and beat the other team with better data. By: Mariella In Engineering class I learned to communicate with my friends and peers. I also learned how to calculate the area of a square I made shipping container homes with my team. We completed worksheets to earn engineering money to buy materials and build with them. We used dialogue to communicate and talk about out projects. We measure hot and cold climate conditions to our containers. We talked to the owner of homeless shelter. Our problem was that many people slept outside and they got put in jail for sleeping outside. The Materials I used was foil, foam sheets, felt paper, bubble wrap, cotton balls, transparency sheets and sand bags. Altogether it cost , $1975. We were under budget and had 25 dollars left. This unit was very fun! We compared materials and choose the best ones looking at our data. By: Mark For two weeks, students explored the concept of insulation. Students collaborated in groups and designed a tank to slow down the movement of heat. After their thoughtful design process, they competed for the least amount of mass lost from an ice cube under a lamp. The purpose of this experiment was to explore the Engineering Design process and to learn to collaborate with peers with effective communication strategies.
The last stage of our Engineering Design Process is to communicate our results to the engineering community and take actionable measures. Below the Second graders shared their project with kindergarten and created a video explaining the skills they gained.
