Virtual Hands-On Workshop

MY AGENDA

Supporting Educator Understanding of the NGSS Three Dimensions of Learning While Engaging Elementary Students in Engineering Design and Design Thinking

Tuesday, April 13 • 5:45 PM - 6:45 PM

Show Details

Learn to access hundreds of free hands-on engineering design activities that exemplify the interconnected three-dimensional elements of K–5 science learning.

For this beginner-level hands-on activity, each participant will need:

4–6 Lifesaver® mints
4–6 plastic straws (with diameters smaller than the Lifesaver® mint’s hole diameter)
2–4 popsicle sticks
1–2 index cards (or thin cardboard or poster board scraps)
tape (duct or masking)
scissors
paper
pencil
ramp (made from sturdy poster board or rigid cardboard)
meter stick
10–30 pennies

TAKEAWAYS:
Participants will: 1. engage in a hands-on NGSS engineering design–aligned activity for elementary students from the FREE TeachEngineering digital library; 2. experience the integration of design and design thinking through 3-D learning while exploring a fun way to ignite student creativity; and 3. experience the interconnectivity of 3-D learning while strengthening their own ability to implement 3-D teaching and learning practices in their classrooms.
