Develops learning experiences that require students to demonstrate a variety of applicable skills and competencies
One of the most interesting learning activities that I have gotten to implement are design challenges. These are great because they integrate science, ELA, critical thinking skills, collaboration, teamwork, innovation, and the skill of drafting and completing trials to perfect a model. Over the semester my students completed a design challenge where they had to build a tower out of spaghetti, a car powered by gravity, a solar oven, and a sturdy bridge.
