Ice Cube Challenge- No prep, hands-on, distance-learning engineering challenge.

The purpose of this product is to review the scientific method and provide students with an engaging task to complete from home. Students will be constructing a device that preserves an ice cube from melting when placed in direct sunlight.

All you need to do is assign the Google Slides through Google Classroom and provide directions for each day. Students will complete 2 slides per day as they follow the steps for this experiment. At the end of the week, use the last slide of the Google Slide document to grade students for their work.

When I used this for distance learning, I made a 5-10 minute instructional video each day. I have included the “Teacher Slideshow” to show you the directions I would give each day. You could screen-share this when recording your instructions.
