As a group, participants will draw or sketch a representation of the Core and Content Standards that go along with the high school standards (15 minutes). 8:30 - When each group has finished creating their picture or series of pictures, have them complete a Core and Content Standards Tour (carousel). Each group will rotate to the 5 other stations (5 minutes each). At each station, participants will review the Core and Content Standards for each grade level. Rotating groups will provide feedback with sticky notes. Groups review feedback (5 minutes).

For more detailed descriptions of the process, review the High School Primer. 9:05 - Tell participants that they’ll be working in pairs to design a chair that can support the weight of an apple, orange or soda can out of index cards only – no tape is allowed. Hand out the Index Card Chair Challenge Sheet. Have participants brainstorm two chair designs. Keep the participants on time.

few minutes of warning when the activity is about to end. After the participants have built their chair, line the chairs up side by side on a table and see which chairs can hold the designated object. 9:25 – Have participants reflect on designing chair and share what they feel students should learn about the engineering design process. Have participants create a list on packs and share out 9:45-10:00 (15 min) BREAK Participants take a break 105 min 10:00 – 10:40 Presenting and Completing the lesson (40 min) 10:40-11:00 Sharing and Cleanup (20 min) 11:00-11:25 Scientific Inquiry vs the EDP (25 min) 11:25-11:45 Small Group Discussion (20 min) Unit 2 – Biofuel From Algae Hands-on exercise featuring the Engineering Design process for learning Life Science In Folder: Biofuel From Algae Full Lesson Plan 10:00 Introduce the lesson, allow participants to read the Algae Article, show them your prototype, and have them sketch it on the Algae Machine Workshop Handout. Within their groups, teachers should identify current problems for the initial prototype. Discuss ideas with the participants using the Algae Machine Design Worksheet for Teachers handout as a reference. the Algae Machine Data Worksheet for the initial prototype, participants should study this data and determine the optimal set-up values for an algae machine. Have participants evaluate the validity of the results and determine what kinds of further testing would be useful as they redesign the initial prototype. Have them write down their ideas and discuss answers with all participants using the Algae Machine Design for Teachers handout as a reference. Teachers should identify both the constraints of their redesigns as well as the trade-offs they will need to negotiate in their redesigns. Discuss ideas using the Algae Machine Design Worksheet for Teachers handout as a reference. Review the data collection methods available and have participants practice by collecting initial data on up to three bottles. Have participants complete the Machine Design Handout Folder: Biofuel From Algae Handouts (Algae Article, Algae Machine Design Handout for Teachers, and Algae Data Worksheet.) Training Kit: PPT Algae Machine Demo with grown algae Build your algae machine demonstration/prototype and grow your algae before the workshop
12:40 - Demonstrate how to calculate PE and have participants practice. 12:45 - Have participants complete the handout. 12:55 - Using the data set, have participants design, build, test and recommend solution prototypes. 1:25 - Have participants share what they have learned. Ask about things they will have noticed or had difficulty with Summarize main ideas on chart pack (10 min) 1:40 - Summarize the project, and reflect on the discussion questions as well as the overarching messages about using the engineering design process to improve the teaching of science (5 minutes). and Lil’ Coaster Initial Data Set) Training Kit: PPT Supplies: Duct tape, masking tape, scissors, glue, cardstock, pennies, sandpaper, handsaws and any other construction tool you want the participants to have the option of using Gram scale Supplies per Group Regular and small craft sticks Straws Toothpicks Lego 20 pulley wheel Lego Cross Axels size 4M Thomas & Friends Trackmaster Bridge Expansion Pack - FisherPrice Thomas & Friends Trackmaster Straight & Curved Track Pack – FisherPrice Stop watches or timers out masking tape, scissors, glue, cardstock pennies, sandpaper, handsaws and any other construction tool you want the participants to have the option of using. 1:45-2:00 Troubleshooting as an opportunity for learning science Short presentation followed by discussion Training Kit: PPT Supplies: None None 2:00-2:15 BREAK Participants take a break Total: 60 min 2:15-3:15 Formative Assessment of Engineering Design process Training Kit: PPT Distribute Chart pack paper and markers to table groups.
