Engineering Solutions
Given a problem and half a chance, kids will engineer their way to a solution more times than not. This unit is an opportunity for them to become aware of what they do naturally (engage in the design process) and to find out how others have done so through time.
Through each topic, kids explore an everyday problem people have encountered and the various solutions they have designed: Peanut butter as a way a physician could help ill patients eat nutritious food when they were too weak to chew. Paper cups as a solution to the rampant spread of germs among users of the communal “tin dipper” cups of the early 20th century. And many more!
