Third, fourth, and fifth graders worked to create their own Greenhouse prototypes that could be used to help them survive on a deserted island. Students practiced using the Engineering Design Process to ask the question, imagine a solution, create individual and group plans, build a prototype, test weekly to see if their plants grew successfully, and make improvements to ensure growth. 

Students learned about alternative energy sources and the ways in which vehicles are changing to incorporate these programs.  As a challenge, students had to work as a group to create a vehicle using the materials provided that would move by the force of a balloon.
