These materials will will be used as part of a culminating engineering challenge.The challenge is based on the scenario of a child living in an area like ours who has a handicap and is unable to help out in the family's daily life. Some examples of how students will use the items on my list: rubber bands and elastic cord can be used as flexors and extensors, the cups can be used as scoops or if cut in half a grabbing part, the the tinfoil is able to be manipulated to be whatever they need it to be, and the tongue depressors for bone like stability. Alll of the items listed were suggested by the mechanical engineer my team worked with as we designed the challenge in a workshop this summer.Our team wrote this lesson to insure that our transitional bilingual students will be able to work at a high level with the supports they need to be successful. Moreover, all students will be challenged and engaged in the problem solving and design process. I have several smaller challenges planned for the year to allow my students access to the engineering process. I will also have local engineers and engineering students visiting my classroom as we take on these challenges. All this year's challenges will make a difference in my students' learning by allowing them to work together to solve a real world problem. Engineering is a fabulous way to integrate all subjects and engage students of all backgrounds and ability levels!
