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 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 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.
