At Central Elementary, Pam Loving, Instructional Technology Resource Teacher, is engaging students at the deepest levels of learning through Project Lead the Way.
The Project Lead the Way, Launch series taps into students’ nature to explore. Students are engaged in learning that feels like play. It encourages them to keep discovering as they are immersed in hands-on activities, projects and problems.
First Graders in the pictures below are using the Engineering Design Process to solve problems based on Fairy Tales. From Jack in the Beanstalk to The Three Little Pigs, students use collaboration, communication, and critical thinking to help solve problems.
Students complete the module by creating their own painting tool. After deciding the function and structure they want their painting tool to have, they model or build their design. Students then have time to evaluate and explain their design as they paint with their tool as well as think about how they would design it differently to complete the Engineering Design Process.
