You'll design one that is meant to fly in the breeze, one that will float in water, and another that will stick to something fuzzy.

Listen to the stories "The Dandelion seed" or "Flip, float, fly" to get some inspiraton]]> 2020-10-07 08:45:51 UTC https://padlet.com/missnconnor/dojt2orrhbaztipa/wish/809612712 missnconnor https://padlet.com/missnconnor/dojt2orrhbaztipa/wish/809614588 2020-10-07 08:46:44 UTC https://padlet.com/missnconnor/dojt2orrhbaztipa/wish/809614588 Resources missnconnor https://padlet.com/missnconnor/dojt2orrhbaztipa/wish/809617605 You can use any household materials for your design challenge. I suggest items such as: scrap paper, card board box (cereal boxes, cracker boxes etc.) drinking straws, string, rubber bands, paperclips and scissors. To make it more of a challenge do not include tape, glue or velcro.]]> 2020-10-07 08:48:28 UTC https://padlet.com/missnconnor/dojt2orrhbaztipa/wish/809617605 Flying Seed missnconnor https://padlet.com/missnconnor/dojt2orrhbaztipa/wish/809620014 Although most seeds are fairly small, your designs can be as big as you'd like, as long as you've accomplished your goal!

Once you've created a seed that you think will fly, test it out! If it is a dry day you can take your seed outside. You can also set up a fan and test it indoors.

How did your seed do? Do you need to redesign and try again? Record your tests and talk about any changes you had to make and why.]]> 2020-10-07 08:49:52 UTC https://padlet.com/missnconnor/dojt2orrhbaztipa/wish/809620014 Floating Seed missnconnor https://padlet.com/missnconnor/dojt2orrhbaztipa/wish/809623144 Test this out in the bathtub or sink in your house.

How did it do? Did you have to make any changes? That's ok- that is an engineering process of design, create, improve, reflect.

Take a picture or draw a picture of what your successful floating seed looked like.]]> 2020-10-07 08:51:49 UTC https://padlet.com/missnconnor/dojt2orrhbaztipa/wish/809623144 Sticky Seed missnconnor https://padlet.com/missnconnor/dojt2orrhbaztipa/wish/809625382 Find a fuzzy blanket, fleece jacket, or patient pet to test your sticky seed out. How well do they work? It is okay to tweak your design, that is what professional engineers do!]]> 2020-10-07 08:53:10 UTC https://padlet.com/missnconnor/dojt2orrhbaztipa/wish/809625382 missnconnor https://padlet.com/missnconnor/dojt2orrhbaztipa/wish/809628714 2020-10-07 08:55:20 UTC https://padlet.com/missnconnor/dojt2orrhbaztipa/wish/809628714
