Applying What You Have Learned

Below is a lesson plan that supports constructive play. The lesson plans are intended to be an optional resource that you may adapt for use in your classroom.  The worksheets at the bottom of each lesson plan are part of the required coursework (not optional).

Picture
​Washington Common Core Standard:
Next Generation Science Standards
K-2-ETS1-3 Engineering Design
Analyze data from tests of two objects designed to solve the same problem to compare the strengths and weaknesses of how each performs.

  • Empty toilet paper rolls
  • Empty paper towel rolls
  • Sponges
  • Toothpicks
  • Glue
  • Q-tips
  • Cardboard
  • Cotton balls
  • Rubber bands
  • Paper towels
  • Eggs 
Procedure: 
  1. Set out materials in an appropriate area.
  2. Invite students to create a way to prevent an egg from breaking when it’s dropped form high above.
  3. When their designs are complete, drop the eggs. 
 Questions to ask:
  • What techniques seemed to prevent the egg from breaking?
  • What techniques do you think didn’t work as well? Why?
  • What would you do differently in your design next time? 
Assessment:
  • Observe and record how the students create their design. What materials did they use? Did they have any special/unique approaches? **Do not assess students on whether or not their egg broke when dropped! The purpose of the lesson is to encourage creative thinking and engineering skills.**

Open-Ended Question

Page 2

Here is an example of a possible answer for the question on the previous page.


    Possible answer:

The children I care for are really into balloons and how they work. I would make sure to add some balloons to the materials list so they can test them out on their own.
