Nassau Education Foundation - $273.00
Goal
This program's purpose is to foster engineering and technological literacy in science through hands-on inquiries and engaging engineering text that has students exploring storm water runoff and its pollution in a city model. Through the engineering design process students will collaborate, plan, design and implement models to solve real life problems associated with urban runoff. At the end, they will present their findings about designing urban landscapes.
What will be done with my students
This project teaches students how to utilize the engineering process in order to learn what happens to polluted runoff in a model city, investigate pavement technology, and design a model in order to solve an engineering challenge. This project consists of 6 activities that will take a semester to do and tie in with Florida's Next Generation Sunshine State Science standards, Big Idea 6: Earth Structures. This standard is covered in SC.7.E.6.6., identify the impact that humans have had on Earth, and SC.7.E.6.2., Identify they patterns within the rock cycle and relate them to surface events.
Benefits to my students
This project would be used in class for 5 periods by 1 teacher. It would benefit 125 students at FBMS. It ties in the following Florida Next Generation Sunshine State Science standards: SC.7.E.6.2.; Identify the patterns within the rock cycle and relate them to surface events & SC.7.E.6.6; identify the impact that humans have had on Earth. All of the engineering aspects of the project tie into Florida's Big Idea 6: Earth Science.
