Lesson plan:
I will have second class for the upcoming year and the lesson I am going to try out with them is the design a spacecraft. The class will create a spacecraft using ‘junk’ materials. The students will be placed into groups and will discuss and plan their designs together. The students will be shown videos of spacecrafts as the stimulus for the lesson. Pictures will also be available in the room for the students to consult as they plan and design. The students will begin planning and building their spaceships in the class. Once they are finished, each group will present their spacecraft to the class. The students will engage in a discussion about what they learned, what worked well and what they would do differently the next time.
