***NEW UPDATE***
Owing to popular demand the iPad license pack is now available in COLOR and CHEVRON design.
These are "iPad Licenses" for your students. Once your students have been properly trained in the correct ways of using an iPad (using two hands, sitting with the iPad, sharing with their friends, etc...) they are given their "iPad License". If they break the rules and use the iPad inappropriately, their license is "revoked" until they prove they can use the iPad independently.
Please note this is a PDF file.
This is a great hands on unit for 3-5 students that is aligned with ELA & Math CCSS, and Next Generation Science Standards for Engineering & Design. Students will put themselves into the perspective of a Biomedical Engineer.

This is a great hands on unit for K-2 students that is aligned with ELA CCSS, and Next Generation Science Standards for Engineering & Design. Students will complete a 2 part activity:
1. Students will test materials to see which ones float
2. Students will see a PPT on climate change and use the best materials from the previous testing to convert a toy car into an "amphibious car" that drives and floats on water.
***Please note additional materials are needed for this activity***
Clay or playdoh, foam, pool noodles, bubble wrap, newspaper, tin foil, duct tape, pieces of cardboard, toy cars (like Hot Wheels) containers for water.

This is a great hands on unit for 4-5 students that is aligned with ELA & Math CCSS, and Next Generation Science Standards for Engineering & Design. In groups students will read informational text about the evolution of clothing to then design and create a futuristic and functional clothing item based on the measurements of one group member. The clothing must be made only from the provided materials, must be able to carry food (snacks), must be wearable and fit the measurements of the selected group member, and be submitted for a weight evaluation. Students also have the option of creating an advertisement for the finished clothing item, which can be completed as a clothing commercial with technology or presented on a poster.
***Please note additional materials are needed for this activity***
Variety of Ziploc bags (small, medium, large), rolls of tape, snack items (pretzels, Goldfish, crackers, etc...), futuristic decorations (tapes, stickers, etc...) and a luggage weighing scale
