A quick assessment for students at the end of the lesson, covering the Continuity Equation, Bernoulli's Principle trade-offs, and Torricelli's Law reasoning. Revised to fix page break issues and improve writing space.
A visual presentation for the Dream Builders Expo. Includes an introduction to the engineering mindset, the design process loop, and overview slides for each workshop rotation (Bridge Blitz, Launch Pad, Community Machine).
A student worksheet for the 'Community Machine' activity. It features a collaborative design space for mapping 'Input' and 'Output' triggers between squads, as well as an internal sketching grid for their specific machine module.
A facilitator guide for the 'Community Machine' workshop. This final rotation focuses on collaborative engineering, where squads build connected modules for a massive Rube Goldberg machine, emphasizing interdependence and communication.
A student flight log worksheet for the 'Launch Pad' activity. Includes a technical design grid, flight data recorder for three tests, and a 'Failure Analysis' section to promote iterative engineering design.
A facilitator guide for the 'Launch Pad' aerospace workshop. Features a mission-oriented protocol for building catapults or stomp rockets, including aerospace theory basics and safety guidelines for mixed-age groups. Includes assembly diagrams.
A detailed facilitator guide for the Bridge Blitz workshop. Includes step-by-step instructions for a 60-minute session, a supply list, and specific tips for fostering social connection and collaboration among mixed-age groups.
A student worksheet for the 'Bridge Blitz' challenge. Includes a blueprint-style sketching area, roles for mixed-age squads, and a testing log for structural integrity.
A comprehensive event schedule and facilitator overview for the Dream Builders Expo STEM camp. It outlines the 5.5-hour schedule, core philosophy, and group strategies for mixed-age rotations.
A 7-slide presentation explaining Continuity, Bernoulli's Theorem, the Venturi Effect, and Torricelli's Law. It includes high-quality technical diagrams and a detailed derivation showing how Bernoulli's principle results in Torricelli's Law.
