Engineering and Design Process STEM Activities, Distance Learning Google Slides

Description

This is a comprehensive unit for teaching the Engineering and Design Process to upper elementary and middle school students. I have recently modified this product to make it work for distance learning! This product includes the following components:

•Introduction to the Engineering and Design Process (Teacher Slides: PowerPoint and Google)

•10 hands-on STEM activities that demonstrate the Engineering and Design Process:

*Aluminum foil boat

*Marshmallow spaghetti tower

*Marble run

*Straw bridge

*Gumdrop tower

*Marshmallow shooter

*Balloon-powered car

*Popsicle stick bridge

*Marshmallow catapult

*Index card tower

•Student Notebook to record all activities (3 VERSIONS: Print-and-Go, Editable Google Slides, and Fill-In Google Slides)

•Engineering and Design Process Rubric (Print-and-go, Editable Google Slides versions)

•Teacher’s guide with step-by-step directions and materials lists for all activities

•Editable supply list for making distance learning kits

I hope you enjoy this product and if you have any questions, please feel free to email me. I'm going to add photos of my distance learning kits as soon as they are assembled! :)

I am teaching an engineering elective for middle school students, they have loved the hands on activities and I really appreciate the already made lesson plans and hand out that go with each activity. It really causes the students to think about their design process and come up with creative solutions. Well worth the money, this has been one of my favorite purchases. Another thing I appreciated is that these task are budget friendly in regards to supplies necessary. All in all a great purchase that you and your students will both enjoy!

The slides were to the point and eye catching. Students loved working through the activities. I added the component of recording a Flipgrid video and then analyzing the design as a team to make modifications. Well done!

The resource was colorful and easy for students to follow. I liked that I had a set of google slides ready to use and did not have to create my own set!

Evaluate competing design solutions using a systematic process to determine how well they meet the criteria and constraints of the problem.

NGSSMS-ETS1-4

Develop a model to generate data for iterative testing and modification of a proposed object, tool, or process such that an optimal design can be achieved.

NGSSMS-ETS1-1

Define the criteria and constraints of a design problem with sufficient precision to ensure a successful solution, taking into account relevant scientific principles and potential impacts on people and the natural environment that may limit possible solutions.
