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

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.
