The Crane Design and Building Challenge -- STEM Problem Solving
A best practice lesson for the teaching of physical science or GATE talent pools:
In this lesson, students use the engineering process to build a working crane model that is strong enough to lift a stapler.
There are no set patterns, pre-cut materials, or teacher-led building instructions here! Students engage in the engineering process to design and build their own working models of cranes. The teacher sets guidelines and limitations, provides feedback and monitors progress, instructs the

STEAM DaVinci Renaissance Style: A Unit for Elementary GATE
In STEM Renaissance Style, students will follow the engineering process as they return to the 16th Century. With these lessons, the teacher defines the problem, helps students gather background research, and specifies the requirements. The students do the rest: creating alternative solutions, choosing the best solution, doing development work, building a prototype, and testing and redesigning.
Students construct a prototype of Da Vinci’s parachute while learning about falling objects, gravity,

Gifted Engineering Project
Students will learn about how an engineer goes through a process to create a design. They will be on a design team and design a car that will hold a raw egg. The car will go down and ramp and crash into a brick wall. The goal is to keep the egg from cracking. Students will work through Bloom's Taxonomy throughout the lesson. A rubric is included at the end. The preview has the power point to go with it.

GLITTER CLEAN-UP TOOL PROJECT BASED LEARNING Gold Medal PBL 3rd 4th 5th GATE
One of our 1st grade teachers came to talk to my class of 3rd graders. She was at wit’s end. She loves using glitter, but her kids are atrocious at clean-up. Glitter is everywhere! If she just had a tool that was fun to use for a 1st grader and effective. Of course, the tool would have to be made with common materials and easy to replicate. No teacher can afford to go around buying glitter tools … LAUNCH, and let the engaged learning begin! Your kids are going to love this gold medal pro
