Students will design and create models using everyday objects to solve a problem.
Students will design and create models using everyday objects to solve a problem.
Assessed Science Standards (NGS)
NGSS:2-ETS1-2
Develop a simple sketch, drawing, or physical model to illustrate how the shape of an object helps it function as needed to solve a given problem.
Students will analyze and identify ways to utilize recycled materials to create a model of a engineering design.
Assessed Arts Standards (NCAS)
VA:Cr2.3.1a
Identify and classify uses of everyday objects through drawings, diagrams, sculptures, or other visual means.

STREAM's holistic approach to teaching is designed to increase student engagement by providing real-world context to core disciplines. Our student-centered, inquiry-based teaching methods allow for the meaningful application of each discipline to solve authentic problems using an assortment of thinking strategies.
Engineering Design Process
Engineering Design Process
1. Define the Problem
2. Do Background Research (look at photographs of the flooding and maps of Venice)
3. Specify Requirements (Recycled Material Must Be Used)
4. Brainstorm and Draw Your Design
5. Test your materials
6. Based on results and data, make design changes.
