Student must design and engineer a Rube Goldberg structure that utilizes the simple machines

Students are to build a Rube Goldberg Machine based on their knowledge of simple machines

You have been hired as the structural engineer in charge of designing a new building of no more than 2 stories You must design and build a structure that is earthquake proof. This includes a construction diagram/sketch, a structural analysis, and a prototype that withstands an earthquake.

This rubric is used to assess the students' use of the engineering design process for designing a simple machine robot.

This rubric is used to assess the students' use of engineering design methods for designing a new paper clip.

Engineering and Creativity. Students will use simple machines to build a Rube Goldberg project. The 6 simple machines are: Axle and Wheel, Wedge, Lever, Pulley, Inclined Plane, and Screw.

5th grade engineering project from ACSF Grant

Individuals are to build a 3-D model of the human system that they are assigned. They are to include all major components in their model design, neatly labeling each. They are to select an appropriate medium for design. Student must convey the essential information about their system through a notes sheet set up next to their system at their station. Their classmates will evaluate the usefulness of their system design and notes.

In groups of 3 or 4, the students will design their own amusement park representing a body system of their choice. Refer to the project guidelines for specifics to be included, projects should include two parts - a portfolio and a model.

students will take their knowledge of our muscular system and create a 3-dimensional model of it. The structures should be in the correct order and be relatively proportioned to each other. All structures should be clearly labeled in some way. This is a project meant to allow students to showcase their creativity, while cooperating within a group setting. Students are encouraged to use color and to get creative while learning. This group project is worth 25 points .

Students will research and present a complete overview of one or more diseases, illnesses, injuries, and/or any pathologies (any variations from typical anatomy) that are directly related to a body system covered in this course.

Students will design and build a syringe powered robotic arm that will be able to pick up objects and place them.

Students were to build a model of the circulatory system using plastic bottle as heart and tubing. System had to transport "blood" to one hand, one foot and the head.

Students will build a model of the heart using whatever materials vailable such as plastic bottle as heart and tubing. Hear needs to transport "blood" to the lungs and back to the body.
