What do students need to understand about retelling within the story and why the bridge is an important component of the story?  
How is the engineering process very much like the scientific method?
Why is it important for all students to think like a scientist?]]> 2022-07-07 01:25:05 UTC https://padlet.com/smithmercedes19661/ty2i4rdehdgqiwdw/wish/2238491700 Big Idea smithmercedes19661 https://padlet.com/smithmercedes19661/ty2i4rdehdgqiwdw/wish/2238496109 Students have been reading the star book The Three Billy Goats Gruff by Paul Galdone. This STEM lesson incorporates ELA standards, math(geometry & measurement) standards, and science standards. They will be designing a bridge that safely gets all three goats across without having to deal with the hungry troll.]]> 2022-07-07 01:29:33 UTC https://padlet.com/smithmercedes19661/ty2i4rdehdgqiwdw/wish/2238496109 smithmercedes19661 https://padlet.com/smithmercedes19661/ty2i4rdehdgqiwdw/wish/2238497515 2022-07-07 01:31:06 UTC https://padlet.com/smithmercedes19661/ty2i4rdehdgqiwdw/wish/2238497515 Questions to Ask smithmercedes19661 https://padlet.com/smithmercedes19661/ty2i4rdehdgqiwdw/wish/2238501961 What can I use from my science curriculum to introduce this concept of design, collaboration, and note taking?

Question posed:  How can the goats avoid the troll?  
Students share out.  Responses charted.
New question posed:   What if we build a new bridge for the three billy goats so that all three can cross at the same time?

Students will then share their designs with their team, and decide what would be the pros and cons of their design.
One design from each team. They have to compromise and cooperate.]]> 2022-07-07 15:17:31 UTC https://padlet.com/smithmercedes19661/ty2i4rdehdgqiwdw/wish/2239042430 Create smithmercedes19661 https://padlet.com/smithmercedes19661/ty2i4rdehdgqiwdw/wish/2239045983 Students will work together on the group's design using materials decided on by the bridge designer.   Example:   if the designer chose to build a bridge out of blocks, then that is the material they need to gather from the materials table.
Students will have 30 minutes to work on completing their bridge.
Bridge journal keeper will be in charge of drawing/writing what design was chosen, materials used, and testing their bridge for goat safety.]]> 2022-07-07 15:23:08 UTC https://padlet.com/smithmercedes19661/ty2i4rdehdgqiwdw/wish/2239045983 Test and Try again if needed. smithmercedes19661 https://padlet.com/smithmercedes19661/ty2i4rdehdgqiwdw/wish/2239058972 Student teams will be able to test their bridge 3 times, and make improvements as needed.   Each test will be documented with a bridge rubric.  These tests will be in their bridge journal.   After third test of their design, teams will make changes as needed and get ready to present their final bridge masterpiece.]]> 2022-07-07 15:46:00 UTC https://padlet.com/smithmercedes19661/ty2i4rdehdgqiwdw/wish/2239058972 Questions to ask smithmercedes19661 https://padlet.com/smithmercedes19661/ty2i4rdehdgqiwdw/wish/2239063152 What limitations are there with resources utilized?

There are some fun activities and I found a lot of bridge building activities for students/prek, but nothing where they really investigate and design and create. You can buy kits for $69.95, but I feel that limits their creativity.]]> 2022-07-07 16:05:26 UTC https://padlet.com/smithmercedes19661/ty2i4rdehdgqiwdw/wish/2239070020 Questions to Ask smithmercedes19661 https://padlet.com/smithmercedes19661/ty2i4rdehdgqiwdw/wish/2239073077 How has my lesson plan made clear what my goals for this STEM challenge are, and is it in depth enough for students understanding?
