They worked together to make a list of questions to guide their research. All students added information to the padlet to address those questions. Students located and uploaded TWO design idea videos to our class padlet, and viewed a couple of games involving virtual machines. In order to plan for designing and constructing their machines, students were provided with a list of materials that must be incorporated. Each machine must have at least seven steps/parts of a chain reaction. Students will select a theme, use wise engineering and creativity to make their machine aesthetically pleasing and artistically unique. Judges will be selected for their presentations and students will be judged on their projects.
