Description
Newly updated as a digital PDF for home or distance learning, this FUN and ENGAGING NGSS Simple and Compound Machines STEM Engineering Project includes worksheets and challenges elementary or even middle school students to design and build a solution to a problem at school, at home, or anywhere else and adheres to the NGSS strand 3-5-ETS1 Engineering using simple machines.
Simply print and assign or attach to Google Classroom (or whatever platform you use!) Be sure to check out my Home and Distance Learning Resources! Home and Distance Learning
Overview:
- Students have to use four or more simple machines to design, develop and build a prototype of a compound machine.
- Students draw, label, and describe their prototype on a poster to present to the class similar to the show Shark Tank. Playing a YouTube clip of the show beforehand makes it fun too!
Resource Includes:
- Student Directions Page
- Timeline/Schedule to stay on track
- Outline to keep students organized and focused
- Grading Rubric for easy grading
- Conclusion Questions (Students reflect on their project to identify the costs, benefits, and impacts on the environment as well as state two revisions they would make in the future and describe another problem/solution).
It meets the elementary or middle school NGSS Next Generation Science Standards Performance Expectations below:
3-5-ETS1-1. Define a simple design problem reflecting a need or a want that includes specified criteria for success and constraints on materials, time, or cost.
3-5-ETS1-2. Generate and compare multiple possible solutions to a problem based on how well each is likely to meet the criteria and constraints of the problem.
MS-ETS1-1. Define the criteria and constraints of a design problem with sufficient precision to ensure a successful solution, taking into account relevant scientific principles and potential impacts on people and the natural environment that may limit possible solutions.
