Entry Event:
STUDENT VOICE & CHOICE:
Products: Must include ED Individual: Specific content and competencies to be assessed:
Process in at least one of the ELA /writing: Students individually write an
products. essay comparing and contracting series and
series/parallel and open/closed circuits. (Use
examples in everyday life)
Engineering Design Process:
● ASK questions- Introducing
the project (30 minutes)
● Conduct RESEARCH (1 or
more class periods)
● Draft a PLAN (3 class
periods)
● CREATE a
model/prototype (5 class
periods)
● TEST/EVALUATE the
model (1 class period)
● IMPROVE the design (2
class periods)
● COMMUNICATE project
to a public audience (peers,
other grade levels, parents,
experts, etc. This part is
crucial and extremely
important)
