Imagineering
Imagineering
The Imagineering Unit is an interdisciplinary unit where students will explore the six basic simple machines. The third graders will be given STEM Engineering Simple Machine Challenges that will allow the students to learn about the characteristics and functions of an inclined plane, lever, screw, pulley, wheel & axle, and wedge. STEM is a way of learning that focuses on the skills needed to learn Science, Technology, Mathematics, and how the Engineering Design Process is used to achieve the outcome. Students will get to explore, design, and test their simple machine challenges. Students will use their imagination and their knowledge of simple machines to design and build a theme park as their final project.
The Most Magnificent Thing by Ashley Spires is about creating amazing things and understanding that mistakes will be made along the way. It also shows how to regulate emotions to keep persevering through challenging situations. Third graders created their "most magnificent thing" out of makerspace materials.
