Presentation Transcript

  1. Littlefoot’s Lil’ Coaster Ride • Hands-on exercise featuring the Engineering Design Process for learning Physical Science. • In this engineering design lesson, you will address the problems associated with creating carts for a kiddie roller coaster. • To save time, you will be given a pre-completed classroom data set for the lesson. • You will use this data and the Engineering Design Process to design the coaster ride.

  2. Littlefoot’s Ride Sharing • Identify the science involved. • What factors made your cart go the fastest? • What different designs did you see and which ones were the most effective? Why? • What happened when more mass was added? • Did the length of the cart and/or length of the axels make a difference?

  3. Small Group Discussion • Identify the characteristics of the Engineering Design Process. • How does the Engineering Design Process differ from Science Inquiry? • What are benefits to using the Engineering Design Process? • What other activities have you done in class that you can modify to use the Engineering Design Process? • What problems do you anticipate with your students and how can you resolve these issues? • What is your biggest roadblock to using the Engineering Design Process?
