Scenario: Your school field trip to New Zealand to see where The Lord of the Rings movies were filmed has taken a turn for the worse! Your initial travel from your school to the Nashville International Airport was fine. Your flight from Nashville to New Zealand started off as scheduled. The plane was on course until a severe thunderstorm caused both the engine and the radio to fail. The plan was forced to crash somewhere in the South Pacific. The plane was torn to shreds, but the emergency raft remained intact. You and your classmates climbed into the raft and drifted on the ocean for several hours. You finally washed ashore on what seemed to be a deserted island as a…

Can I…use the Engineering Design Process? Survivor Stranded! (dun, dun, dun)

You must use your… Engineering skills! What is engineering? The process of creating technology. What is technology? Products and processes created to serve our needs. Why, may you ask, do you need to use your engineering skills? I thought you would never ask. You need your engineering skills because…

A STORM IS APPROACHING!!! Hurricane Meek is quickly approaching, so you and your teammates will need to think fast! You need to design and construct a shelter that can withstand strong winds, keep out rain, and hold all of your team members.

A STORM IS APPROACHING!!! Engineering Criteria: Sturdy- given three heavy gusts of wind, the shelter must not move, tip over, or be damaged in any way. Water Resistant- Given three squirts of water to simulate rain, the inside of the shelter must remain completely dry. Spacious- Each member of your team must fit inside of the shelter.

Engineering Constraints: Actual Materials on the Island: Materials for building the shelter model: Logs (20 logs per team) Strip of plane siding that washed ashore (1 piece) Tarp from the rescue raft (1 piece) Rope that washed ashore Mud People Craft sticks (20 per team) Aluminum foil (1 piece) Wax paper (1 piece) String Play-Doh 3-dimensional graph paper cube

Engineering Design Process: Ask What shelter design will keep water out, stand up to strong winds, and hold all group members? Research- use your prior knowledge to research about shelters or houses Imagine Brainstorm ideas and come up with a hypothesis that describes the type of shelter that will survive a storm. Plan Use the Survivor Digest on the front cover of the instructions. Make a materials list of the items that you will use to build the shelter. Draw a blueprint of your shelter design. Building steps Create Collect all materials and build your model according to the design you chose. Test your shelter against the storm. Improve How can you change or improve our design?

Hurry! The storm is approaching …
