Students will hear a story of Sir Charlie who is trying to survive living on a deserted island. His biggest challenge has been the wind at night. Students will follow the criteria and constraints to build a hut that will withstand a wind storm.  In this STEM lesson, students will use the Engineering Design Process, work collaborating with peers, design a prototype, and plan and sketch a design

Read the passage provided in the lesson plan and discuss Sir Charlie's biggest challenge.

Then read pages 14-15 from the nonfiction story "Survive a Desert Island" on Epic about types of shelters.

Also Read "The Three Little Pigs" and "The Big Bad Pig and the Three Little Wolves" for students to see examples of shelters made from different materials and how they stood up to the breath aka wind.

Students want to help Sir Charlie, so they work collaboratively will peers and follow the criteria and constraints to build a hut that can withstand a wind storm using the EDP.

# data[].attributes.body
Students will start the explore process by completing the Shelter Building STEM activity off Teachers Pay Teachers. This activity will help them start the process of thinking how to build shelters out of materials provided and they must keep the paper family from getting wet.

Then we will move onto the Desert Island Survival activity. Students will break into groups of 4 and explore the list of materials:
4 index cards • 2 pieces of construction paper 8x10 • 4 pieces of newspaper • 10 craft sticks • graph paper (36 sq inches) • ruler • 10 pieces of masking tape (3 inches long) • 4 straws

# data[].attributes.body
Describe the design challenge to the students.
They have to create a hut that is not bigger than 36 square inches – that is at least 5 inches high – and has a working door.
The hut must withstand a windstorm for 8 seconds. The windstorm will be created by using a hair dryer on full speed.
I will then Demonstrate the speed for the students. The hair dryer during testing will be held 12 inches away from the hut. The hut will be placed on a table or stool. If the hut does not blow off the table or stool and stays in place for 10 seconds, they have succeeded.
Also explain that during construction, the hut cannot be taped to the table.

# data[].attributes.body
Once they have a detailed plan either written or a drawing with labels, they can start to build.

Students will have 20-25 minutes to build.

Explain that they will be creating and improving as team.

# data[].attributes.body
During creation, students can test their design with the hair dryer to see where they need to improve.

# data[].attributes.body
If their design does not stay standing when the blow dryer wind is applied for 8 seconds, they will go back to the design phase, create a new structure or modify the already existing one and try it out again.

# data[].attributes.body
The lesson provided a story to share about Charles, but is very short and just gives us information to set us up for why we are building the shelter.  So I went and found some additional books to share to give more information to the students on shelters.

The books, "Survive on a Desert Island", "The Three Little Pigs", and "The Big Bad Pig and the Three Little Wolves" will provide background information on building shelters out of different materials and how those materials can stand up next to the elements.

I have chosen to share this video with the students because it goes into detail about the activity explained by a teacher who did it with her class. I know that I can explain it as well, but sometimes it helps to hear another perspective for explanation.
