Grand Challenges fall into four cross-cutting themes: Sustainability, Health, Security, and Joy of Living

Examples of Students using the Engineering by Design Loop (EBD)

𝔻𝕣. 𝕁𝕖𝕤𝕤𝕚𝕔𝕒 𝔻. ℝ𝕖𝕕𝕔𝕒𝕪 on Twitter“Second graders used the engineering design process to create oil containment mats. Students created mats to absorb oil so it doesn’t get into soil when changing oil in cars. Students tested and re-tested their design with water ‘oil.’ @hempfield @iteaebd #STEMchallenge”

𝔻𝕣. 𝕁𝕖𝕤𝕤𝕚𝕔𝕒 𝔻. ℝ𝕖𝕕𝕔𝕒𝕪 on Twitter“A part of our STEM unit involved making air pollution catchers. We placed our catchers inside and outside. Tomorrow we will analyze the results. We are excited to see if our predictions were correct. @hempfield @MissOckford”

𝔻𝕣. 𝕁𝕖𝕤𝕤𝕚𝕔𝕒 𝔻. ℝ𝕖𝕕𝕔𝕒𝕪 on Twitter“Second graders are taking on a STEM challenge to build an oil containment mat. Students are finding ways to prevent oil from getting into the soil during an oil change. Tomorrow we will test out our projects. @hempfield @MissOckford”

𝔻𝕣. 𝕁𝕖𝕤𝕤𝕚𝕔𝕒 𝔻. ℝ𝕖𝕕𝕔𝕒𝕪 on Twitter“The plastic detectives STEM lesson was very fun! Students categorized natural and designed items by plastic code, length, and mass. @hempfield @MissOckford”

Go Green!

This is a STEM unit that can be used in conjunction with ITEEA EbD TEEMS Grade 2 Our Environment, Our Health Unit. Further, teachers might want to use this STEM Unit with environmental units and Earth Day. Students learn about their positive and negative impact on their environment. Students learn that they can have a positive impact on their environment when they use the 4 R’s: Reduce, Reuse, Recycle, and Redesign process.
