Edwards, Rachel; Nguyen, Anna; Capone, Tim Prince; Aguero, Jacqueline
This lesson focuses on renewable energy and potential future energy sources. Through an interactive read-aloud, demonstration, and discussion, students examine how structures such as a wind-powered gravity battery can store renewable energy for later use. As a culminating activity, students design their own 3D-printed gravity batteries.

This lesson focuses on forces and motion. Students apply creativity and experimentation to describe the movement of matter among animals, plants, decomposers, and the environment. To summarize their learning, students craft a marshmallow tower and create a terrarium.
By creating a terrarium and marshmallow tower, students will understand how to observe, plan, and execute a design while exploring concepts related to biology, engineering, and creative problem solving. How can we use our observations and creativity to design and build a terrarium and a stable marshmallow tower using toothpicks and marshmallows? This essential question encourages students to use critical thinking and problem-solving skills, while also promoting exploration of concepts related to life sciences and engineering.

Carachure-Aguirre, Vanessa; Jara, Daisy; Lopez-Sanchez, Jennifer; Wills, Ronnie
This lesson focuses on the engineering design process and creative problem-solving. Students identify and describe the changes in position, direction, and speed of an object when acted upon by unbalanced forces in order to create a visual representation. As a culminating activity, students design, build, and test Lego cars powered by wind energy.
Students will gain an understanding of an object's position, direction, and speed when acted by unbalanced forces, as well as create a visual representation of the data collected.
