5TH GRADE - ENGINEERING DESIGN
Standards
-Define a simple design problem reflecting a need or a want that includes specified criteria for success and constraints on materials, time, or cost.
-Generate and compare multiple possible solutions to a problem based on how well each is likely to meet the criteria and constraints of the problem.
-Plan and carry out fair tests in which variables are controlled and failure points are considered to identify aspects of a model or prototype that can be improved

1. What other invention can this magnet be used for?
2. How does this magnet and copper work?
3. Where have you seen this used, or know it is used somewhere?

Modeling Your Thinking
Have students brainstorm common (physical) problems around the world (e.g. broken door, jammed printer, etc.). In a step-by-step format, have students construct a flow chart that illustrates HOW one would go about solving this problem and/or reconstructing what was once broken. Once students have solved the issue, the teacher may or may not have the students build a model of their reconstruction to demonstrate how one would perform this task in real life.
