This month our 2nd and 3rd grade students learned about the Engineering Design Process.
1. Ask (What is the problem you are trying to solve).
2. Imagine (What are the possible solutions).
3. Plan (What is your plan to solve the problem).
4. Create (Build a prototype).
5. Experiment (Test your prototype).
6. Improve (What can you change about your prototype to make it better).
We practiced this process by building a penguin raft. Students were provided 12 straws, scissors and 2 feet of tape. They worked as a team to build a raft and keep a paper penguin dry.
Great work 2nd and 3rd graders!
