4th Grade Science
We will be studying the Engineering Design Process throughout the entire year! We will also be doing EDP activities and experiments all year long! The EDP consists of "ask", "imagine", "plan", "create" and "improve". I have many buddies that are engineers in a variety of fields/companies and they all concur that this process is basically what they use day in and day out.

I love engineering!! I love how kids learn how to communicate, work with others, resolve conflict, experience disappointment and build resilience! I get so excited thinking about all the teachable moments and real-life connections!
