What if you could challenge your sixth graders to create packaging that's engineered to both protect a product and make it a hot seller? Packaging Design is based on the concept that success in the 21st-century workplace requires blending content and communication skills. Throughout the module, students will apply mathematics, English language arts, science, and social studies to the complex fields of design and marketing. Students will develop nested packages that require learning about geometric properties of three-dimensional shapes and engineering design. They'll also build persuasive...

What if you could challenge your fifth graders to design rainwater recycling and delivery systems to provide water for a fictional community garden? With Rainwater Analysis, students can use their own school building and grounds as a design lab. This interdisciplinary module makes the connection between Earth's spheres, rainfall analysis, irrigation, and mathematical modeling. Students draw on Earth and environmental science and the engineering design process to complete activities such as creating a rain gauge, learning about volume calculations, and analyzing data to determine the best...

What if you could challenge your second graders to build an outdoor STEM classroom-complete with a butterfly garden, birdbath, and sundial? Investigating Environmental Changes provides young children with a STEM context in which to explore how plant and animal life cycles coincide with the Earth's movement around the Sun. To develop a proposal and data collection plan for their outdoor classroom, students will draw on life, Earth, and environmental sciences; the engineering design process; mathematics; and English language arts. In addition, they will make connections among local weather...
