Description

STEM Trickle Down Effect

Building a Water Filter with System Engineering

An engineering exploration of materials and systems for fourth through sixth graders that is perfect for integration into watershed studies and environmental solutions investigations or a problem based learning project.

Teachers are saying:

"This was a great tie in with pollution and water cycle."

"My students loved this challenge. I had them design their individual "prototype" as their entrance ticket to lab. They then collaborated with their group to finalize their group design filter."

"A really neat activity that gives great directions for teacher prep and student trials. Thanks!"

The unit includes detailed teacher notes and prep notes, student handouts that encourage analysis and reflection, an assessment rubric and an engineering design poster.

Standards

NGSS3-5-ETS1-3
Plan and carry out fair tests in which variables are controlled and failure points are considered to identify aspects of a model or prototype that can be improved.
NGSS5-ESS3-1
Obtain and combine information about ways individual communities use science ideas to protect the Earth’s resources and environment.
NGSS3-5-ETS1-1
Define a simple design problem reflecting a need or a want that includes specified criteria for success and constraints on materials, time, or cost.
NGSSMS-ESS3-3
Apply scientific principles to design a method for monitoring and minimizing a human impact on the environment. Examples of the design process include examining human environmental impacts, assessing the kinds of solutions that are feasible, and designing and evaluating solutions that could reduce that impact. Examples of human impacts can include water usage (such as the withdrawal of water from streams and aquifers or the construction of dams and levees), land usage (such as urban development, agriculture, or the removal of wetlands), and pollution (such as of the air, water, or land).
NGSS3-5-ETS1-2
Generate and compare multiple possible solutions to a problem based on how well each is likely to meet the criteria and constraints of the problem.
