Design Process

In 5th grade students are given the opportunity to work and think like scientists.

Students develop the concept of a scientific model and engage in design and

construction. Students design experiments to help reinforce the inquiry skills that are

essential for scientific thinking.

Our first unit is Rocketry -- students will design and build their own rockets,
following the Next Generation Science Standards...

Students will...

Ask: What challenge am I facing? How will I tackle it?
Imagine: How do I envision my learning? How do I process it? What are other ideas I can grow?
Plan: What will I create? Design a plan. What materials do I need? How will I get them
Create: How will I build it? How will I test it?
Improve: How can I make my design even better? Try again.
