Less than $5 6th Grade Engineering Projects (by date, latest first)

This is a website design lesson wrapped around Simple Machines. I wanted my students to get the feel of WEB DESIGN without having to pay hosting fees...so, we used PowerPoint. I went through the process of setting up a PP as the website. We talk about links, images, web directory, etc. but we did it for FREE in PowerPoint. Once you activate the slideshow, it "feels" like a website. The kids loved it!

It is written for Simple Machines, but it could easily be rewritten for any topic in any class!

The directions for PowerPoint are on pages 3-4.

A Teacher Needs Your Help!!
Challenge your students to design and build a motorization kit for a teacher's cart. Everything that you need to start this project is included! The Problem Statement. Images of the Cart.
