Students will learn about STEM careers by simulating what they might do as engineers. Students will engage with the concept of new sustainable technology and design a boat from recycled materials.
The Energy Coalition will send you aluminum foil and masking tape to bring this lesson to life.
Lesson Objective: Students will design a boat (skills that entail working with forces/motion and engineering design) through the lens of environmental engineering.
Suggested Teaching Time: 45-60 minutes
NGSS Standards: K-PS2-1., K-PS2-2., K-2-ETS1-2, K-2-ETS1-3
