Engineering

Engineering Design Process


Students learn:


Students follow steps such as asking questions, planning solutions, building models, testing ideas, and making improvements.

Structures and Stability


Students learn:


Students learn how shape, size, and materials affect how strong and stable a structure is, such as bridges or towers.

Simple Machines


Students learn:


Students explore levers, pulleys, wheels and axles, inclined planes, screws, and wedges, and how they make work easier.

  • Levers, pulleys, wheels, ramps, gears (intro):
    Machines change force or direction.
  • Mechanical advantage:
    Machines make work easier.

Materials Science


Students learn:


Students compare materials based on strength, flexibility, weight, and durability to decide which materials are best for different jobs.

Engineering in Everyday Life


Students learn:


Students solve real-world problems by designing tools, structures, or systems to meet specific needs.
