You are part of a team of engineers who have been given the challenge to design a bridge out of popsicle sticks and glue. Bridges must be able to hold at least 20 pounds. The bridge must span at least 14 inches in length. But, it must be longer than 14 inches because when it has been constructed, it will be placed between two desks so it is at least one foot above the floor for a weight-bearing test. In addition to meeting the structural and weight bearing requirements, the bridge will be judged on its aesthetics as well, so be creative! And, you are encouraged to use the fewest number of popsicles possible to achieve your goal.Budget: $20,000Materials:Popsicle Sticks: $200 eachGlue Sticks: $300 eachString: $50/inchYou will present your results to the class using Keynote and iMovie.

Have you ever been traveling down a highway when you see one or both of these signs?

In some cases, the road simply loses a lane as it enters a less traveled section. In other cases, the road narrows because of construction or roadwork. When this happens on a fairly busy highway, it may be a recipe for road rage*.

This is the plan for a printing press simulation. This simulation requires a customizable stamp. Students will need lots of small pieces of paper. This is a race and the teach also participates: Have each student write positive affirmations to each of the other 30 kids in the class and write their name on each piece of paper because they are writing the same thing 30 times this should take a while. Teacher enters the competition a few minutes into the simulation with the customized stamp and then stamps the same message to each of the 30 students. The stamp is much faster than writing and shows why the printing press was such an marvelous invention.

This is Day 1 of a 5 day unit teaching students strong research skills for a "white paper" style research paper (can be modified for any pro-con research assignment).For the purpose of this assignment, the white paper is an argumentative piece which introduces a problem and argues a solution to that problem.In this team­-taught unit of 5 lessons, students will learn that researching is not a linear process. They will use "pre­search" to help them test, adjust, or even abandon viable topics from their brainstorming. They will learn to narrow ideas to smaller, researchable concepts.

In athletics, one of the possible distances to run is 15,000 meters or 15k (in the picture you see the leader in an annual 15k - race in the Netherlands. Please see Wikipedia article below). For this type of run, 15k on a street track, there is a world record, as there are records for all other distances that are run in athletics (e.g. the marathon). In such a race, the organizing committee will usually pay a significant amount of money as a bonus to the winner if he or she succeeds in setting a new world record. These amounts of money can get quite large in order to attract top runners: in the race shown in the picture there was a 25,000 euro bonus if the winner succeeded in improving the 15k world record – which, by the way, he (un)fortunately did not achieve. Had he done so, there would have been a major financial problem for the organizing committee, since they had not purchased any insurance.

This is a discovery learning lesson which can be adapted across multiple contexts with appropriate scaffolding from the teacher.  Students get involved in promoting recycling in their school by making posters and videos to post by the vending machines after researching the benefits of recycling.Image source for thumbnail: free clipart library
