Give your students a complete introduction to engineering and the engineering design process in a fun and engaging way! Students are introduced to engineering before choosing a branch of engineering to research. Guided research is provided with websites and questions for students to answer. Students then pair up to teach each other about their branch of engineering before completing an attractive engineering poster. Great to hang in the classroom or hallway to show student work and collaborat

Students are delighted to learn about the sun and how it affects Earth's surface! Each student receives a booklet with easy-to-follow activities for each of the PowerPoint presentation slides that the teacher projects. After each page of the booklet is complete, students learn about engineers and the engineering design process. Beautiful pages show students the different steps in of the process which can also be printed out as a classroom poster set. Next, students are given a scenario in wh
