The Solutioneers Week 2: Ready to Roll
This week's episodes and hands-on activity explore re-engineering.
Which Fastener is Best?
Students will learn about the different types of fasteners to investigate which fastener is best for a particular material or job and why.
Exploring Objects, Materials and Fasteners
Students identify and sort objects, including fasteners, according to material and purpose.
Objects that Bounce
Students develop and apply comparing & contrasting, observing, and predicting as they investigate the properties of familiar objects and materials.
How Surfaces Affect Motion
Will it slide or stick? Students conduct a fair test to investigate how different solid surfaces affect the movement of an object on a ramp.
Design & Build a Non-Slip Boot Tread
Students work collaboratively to design and build a boot tread that will use friction to prevent slipping on an incline.
Design & Build a Floating Device
Students work collaboratively to design and build a floating device.
