Da Vinci Parachute Prototypes -- Hands-on STEM

Created by

Mark Hess & Portable Gifted and Talented

In this lesson, students solve geometry problems and learn background physics concepts as they build a working model of Leonardo Da Vinci’s parachute. Logic, critical thinking, a bit of Renaissance history, writing and supporting conclusions with details from a source—it’s all here too! Make this extended lesson a cross-curricular, standards-based mini-unit, or just make it a cool building activity. Pick and choose the level of commitment right for you and your students.

STEM Kid Engineering for GATE -- FERRIS WHEELS plus Primary Sources

Created by

Mark Hess & Portable Gifted and Talented

In this GATE engineering journey, students will each construct a very cool Ferris wheel prototype as a final product. Along the way, they will examine primary source images, read primary source history, and integrate math, engineering, and economics in a learning process which incorporates best practices in gifted and talented education for 21st Century Learners. This is a challenging engineering project—teacher guided. I used it for GATE 4th grade; however, my kids are experienced builders.

Arctic Dogsled Racing Design Challenge - STEAM for Upper Elementary

Created by

Mark Hess & Portable Gifted and Talented

Here’s an applied engineering challenge in which—just like in the real world of engineering—a poor design means limited success or even failure. In the Iditarod Sled Challenge, students apply their background knowledge of physical science and use logic and imagination to construct a miniature sled that will deliver “serum” to Nome, Alaska, just like Balto once did. Use this challenge in conjunction with your study of the arctic or the Iditarod--or as a stand-alone engineering challenge for the
