Description
This resource is aimed at those studying growth mindset, metacognition, or classrooms that do STEM or Project Based Learning. It involves your students using basic materials to design and create a Thinking Cap. Using their imagination, students create a cap to wear and "purchase" items to design with (small budget of $15), so math is incorporated as well. Students will go through the design process, by drawing sketches, planning out their idea, and evaluating their design. What fun to make a product they can actually use! This is perfect to use when discussing the brain and its function.
