In Science we have been learning the steps of the engineering design process in preparation for our Engineering Fair in February. Students are given a problem or challenge and they have to design a solution to solve that problem. Below are two challenges the students have completed during Science lab. The first challenge was to create the tallest free standing tower they could using marshmallows and toothpicks. We did research on what makes a tall building strong before making our designs, and prototypes.
Another challenge the kids were given was to create a marble run. We researched roller coasters before planning our designs for this project. Below are pictures of all their hard work. We want to thank Mrs. Wilkowski for all her help in preparing us for the upcoming fair!
