Title: NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory: Engineering in the Classroom
Url: https://www.jpl.nasa.gov/edu/teach/resources/engineering-in-the-classr...
Publisher: United States. National Aeronautics and Space Administration
Description: NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) has created this series of K-12 curriculum materials that align with Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS). These materials are designed to help young scientists understand the Engineering Design Process used at the Jet Laboratory and to use this process to participate in engineering themselves. Instructors can browse this collection by four grade levels: grades K-2; grades 3-5; middle school; and high school. Each activity in this collection features a short video that demonstrates JPL engineering in action. These videos are accompanied by a detailed, hands-on activity, available via a link in the "Use it in the Classroom" section. For instance, one activity for grade 3-5 students features a video about the Opportunity rover, which has been exploring Mars since 2004. In this video, rover driver Hallie Gengl describes how the team must take Mars's terrain into account when planning a drive. Next, students create their own rovers out of pasta, using the same design and planning principal they learned about in the video.
