As part of the continuing adventure scenario for this unit, students build shelters to protect themselves from the rain. After the shelters are built, the class performs durability and waterproof testing on the shelters.
Through this lesson and its activities, student teams complete the engineering design process used by practicing engineers including constructing and testing their designs. Testing is performed to verify that the proposed solution will solve the problem or challenge.
After this lesson, students should be able to:
- Build shelters to protect themselves from the rain
- Perform durability and waterproof testing on the shelters
