Grade Level Challenges

 

Every grade level is involved in integrated challenges every quarter.  Here is an example of what our classes are up to this quarter.



5th Grade:  Mechanical Engineers

   Students have to create a way to create a windmill that will introduce more oxygen into the water source to help the struggling fish.  The grade level has also created weather instruments that will allow them to record weather data for the upcoming days.

 

 

4th Grade: Bioengineering

A frog has been found, outside of its' habitat.  Student engineers must find a way to keep the frog hydrated (without too much water) so that he can survive.  

 

3rd Grade: Biomedical Engineering

A classmate has fallen and twisted his knee.  Students are focused on studying the human body systems so they know how to brace and support this injured knee.  Their goal is to create a brace that will still allow proper mobility and healing.

 

2nd Grade: Aerospace Engineering

NASA has changed it's focus and is now wanting to explore different planets.  However, we can not send humans because of the distance.  Student engineers need to develop a parachute that will allow the unmanned rover to safely reach the surface of the planet.

 

1st Grade:  Civil Engineering

Its Not a Box!  Students use their creative, critical thinking skills to show that their rectangular prism is "Not a Box"!

 

Kindergarten: Materials Engineering

Isabel the porcupine wants to get a balloon, just like all her friends.  We must find a way to help Isabel so she will not pop the balloon with her quills.
