Students examine different toys and consider what processes are necessary for their construction.
Students watch videos about how toy companies use the Engineering Design Cycle, and review rubrics/timelines for the toy project.
Students research, design and construct their toys using electricity, magnetism, and electromagnetism.
Students research, design and construct their toys using electricity, magnetism, and electromagnetism.
Students research, design and construct their toys using electricity, magnetism, and electromagnetism.
Students share their designs and provide feedback to their peers. Students redesign their toys based on student feedback.
Students explain on an informational insert how they manipulated factors of electric, magnetic, and electromagnetic forces to achieve specific outcomes for their toy.
Students act as a “test panel” and examine and evaluate the construction, design and informational inserts of their peer’s toys.
Students make their toy public by creating a toy website, creating a toy advertisement, or creating a classroom toy store.
Students will use data collected throughout the module to design and build a functional toy that uses the principles of electricity, magnetism, and/ or electromagnetism.
