Use this foldable to help teach your students the steps of the Engineering and Design Process. The Engineering and Design Process is part of the Next Generation Science Standards in grades K-12.

Use this product to help teach your young students about Engineers. With the new Next Generation Science Standards focusing on engineering, I created this product to discuss what an engineer is with my K-2 students. I used vocabulary from the new standards and we discuss what each phrase means, then put it into action! Then have your students draw themselves as engineers and share with the class. Have a blast! You can find the Next Generation Science Standards at: www.nextgenscience.org

Use the Engineering and Design Challenge Organizer to record each step of a design challenge. Begin by reviewing the Engineering and Design Process with your students (refer to my other resources in my TPT store for additional information about the Engineering and Design Process) and use the organizer to test for understanding of the process. Use this product to help achieve the NGSS K-2 and 3-5 Engineering Design standards.

A great way to assign independent work with student choice for early finishers or homework for the entire class! This choice board can be used as a supplemental activity during the How Organisms Process Information unit that addresses the following Next Generation Science Standards: 4-LS1-2: Use a model to describe that animals receive different types of information through their senses, process the information in their brain, and respond to the information in different ways. 4-LS4-2: Develop
