Engineering Ethics - Exploring Case Studies
By Innovations in Technology
This career unit gives students an introduction to the engineering ethics using a variety of case studies for student analysis. This is perfect for middle school or high school engineering, career, technology, CTE or business classes.
The included PowerPoint presentation can be used by the teacher for whole class instruction, or provided to the students electronically (or as a printout) for them to review individually. Students work with a partner or in small groups to analyze engineering cases that dealt with ethical concerns. Resources for the six cases are included in the PowerPoint and as printable or digital task cards. The activity can be completed on the computer or without computer access if the teacher prefers by printing out the linked information. Students use critical thinking skills and teamwork to research and analyze the cases and then answer questions to consider the different ethical issues and choices. Then, each group shares that information with the class, encouraging further discussion and analysis. Finally, a short reflection questionnaire gives students the opportunity to reflect and analyze their learning more deeply as they consider the input from other groups and their insight on different case studies.
The project was created for grades 7-8 but could easily be used with high school students.
Files Included with this Lesson
• Teacher & Student Resources
• Introduction to Engineering Ethics PowerPoint presentation (editable)
• Case Study Team Project Instructions, Expectations and Grading Rubric
• Team Case Study Questions/Worksheet
• Case Study Task Cards (6 different cases)
• Engineering Ethics Reflection Questions (MS Word)

Ramps Science Unit for Preschool and Kindergarten (Simple Machines)
By Joyful Explorations
Students will use balls, cars and other objects on ramps as they consider the question, "What affects the way an object rolls down a ramp?" This packet supports the Next Generation Science Standards.
The “Science Kids” series is intended to help teachers implement developmentally appropriate, hands-on science activities for children in Preschool, Kindergarten and the early grades. The activities in these packets are based on the scientific method and encourage inquiry-based learning. All activities can be differentiated to meet the needs of your students.
Concepts in this Unit:
*Some objects roll down ramps, while others slide.
*The height or texture of a ramp will change the distance and speed an object rolls.
*Changing the weight of an object will change the distance and speed it rolls down a ramp.
*An object will move around obstacles that are in its way as it rolls down a ramp
Investigations include:
*"Does it Roll or Slide?"
*"Does Height Make a Difference?"
*"Bumpy Ramps"
*"Heavy and Light"
*"Obstacles"
Printable "Prediction" and "What Really Happened?" sheets are included for many of these investigations.
Also included is a "Just for Fun" ramps art activity.
The final project in this packet is a "Design Your Own Ramp" activity with printable planning sheets and suggestions for ways that students can share their projects with their peers and others.

Design and Build a Hotel - STEM, Engineering & Math Group Project
By Innovations in Technology
This project lets students learn about the engineering and design of hotels as they research and design one with their team. After introducing the lesson with a short video (link included in resources), students complete a math project about hotel design that focuses on perimeter, area, square footage, measurement and scale skills (formulas are included). Next, they work with their team to research information about the design and engineering involved in hotel construction and plan the design, materials and budget for the hotel they will design. Then, they work individually to create their own hotel to scale in Sketchup (a free CAD software program, download available at: https://www.sketchup.com/download ) and after completion, determine which of the team’s designs they will actually construct. Finally, they build a model of their hotel using recycled materials, following the Engineering Design Process with their team. After completing their hotel, students present their project to the class and explain their design choices. Finally, students reflect on and summarize their learning with short answers to questions about the experience and what they learned.
This lesson was created for 7th and 8th grade, but could also be used successfully in upper elementary grades or high school as well.
Files included:
• Teacher & Student Resources
• Team Sign Up Sheet

STEM Challenges for Preschool, Kindergarten and the Early Grades
By Joyful Explorations
These 10 STEM challenges will motivate your students to come up with innovative and creative solutions as they are increasing their science and math skills. These STEM activities are most appropriate for children in Kindergarten-2nd Grade, but can be used in Preschool with the support of an adult.
► "Egg Drop"
► "Deliver a Message"
► "Bird Beak"
► "Floating Pennies"
► "Cross the River"
► "Marshmallow Tower"
► "Marble Roller Coaster"

Introduction- This is the part of the lesson where the teacher defines the challenge and the students begin to brainstorm solutions. There are no right or wrong answers during this part of the lesson.
Planning- Students work together (usually with a partner or in a small group) to come up with a potential solution for the challenge.
Construction- This is the building stage!
Testing- The students test their designs to see if they have solved the problem, and met the challenge.
Evaluation- The students critique their designs and think about what they might change.
Building Bricks STEM Challenges BUNDLE
By Science and STEAM Team
Children love building with bricks! The task cards correlate with the NGSS Engineering Standards. Students naturally think about the properties of materials (color, size, and shape) that will best complete the challenge. They also take apart and rebuild to make their creation even better! This the perfect time to talk about steps in the engineering and design process! The cards can be used whole group, with partners, or at centers. They will also keep your early finishers engaged in a thoughtful way.
There are worksheets at three different levels, so students can draw or photograph, write about, and/or measuring their creations. There is a cover page included in case you decide to make their pages into a book.
A tips and suggestions page is also included.

This project utilizes research skills, MS Word, and Sketchup (free CAD software download) to allow students to build skills in those programs along with skills in Internet research, reading, writing and critical thinking. In these projects, students research information about the history of skyscrapers, designs and changes to those designs over time, and the physics behind them. They create a scale model drawing of an existing skyscraper using Sketchup (CAD) and then design their own. Next, they brainstorm with their team to determine the best design to build from provided materials. Finally, they reflect on their learning and the dynamics of their team to complete the project. The project was created for grades 7-8 but could easily be adapted for younger or older students.

The “Physics of Bridges” project utilizes research skills, MS Word, and Sketchup (free CAD software download) to allow students to build skills in those programs along with skills in Internet research, reading, writing and critical thinking. In these projects, students research information about bridge design and the physics behind them. They create a scale model drawing of a bridge using Sketchup (CAD) and then brainstorm with their team to determine the best design to build from specific provided materials that they “purchase” using a set budget with the goal of building the most attractive, strongest bridge for the least cost. They utilize the software simulation “West Point Bridge Designer” (free download) to assist them in their learning. Finally, they reflect on their learning and the dynamics of their team to complete the project.
The project was created for grades 7-8 but could easily be adapted for younger or older students.
