Collars worn by whales would cause them to send a warning to endangered fish, who could them swim to safety
Designing ways to to help humans before, during and after natural disasters, encourages 6th grade students to think more deeply about the impact of nature on our lives

Putting on a simple bracelet at the time of an earthquake allows rescue workers to easily sense if a body is buried underneath rubble
Basic hand tools
Many different TOOLS and SUPPLIES are available for students in grades 5 - 8 to use. With each passing year students are exposed to and use more sophisticated tools.

3D printer was used to make the parts of the inner ear.
Chromebooks, iPads, Desktops, iMacs,
Functioning and soon to be functioning electronics
Ever changing, not repeating list of available supplies serves as a constraint when designing
A culminating project to the Solids, Liquids and Gasses Unit in 5th grade, forces students to continually design, test, then redesign, then redesign vehicles until they make a prototype of one that can actually cross a Sea of Oobleck

It must float as a boat to address the liquid component of oobleck, but also move forward on wheels to address the density of the solids
Crossing a Sea of Oobleck is not as easy as it seems
How important is the shape of the design?
All members of the group must participate for the project to be completed effectively and on time.
Motors are often used to power the designs that are perfected until they become working prototypes.
The enormity of exponential growth is easy to miss when you are just adding 0s to numbers. But when you see that a stomach with 2 bacteria can't harm you, but that when it doubles every second, it won't take long until you are sick. In this case the student uses powers of 2. So he went from 2^2 (4) to 2^3 (8) to 2^4 (16) etc.
Students learn the proper use of basic hand tools and power tools to safely make their projects .
