LDC offers teachers, coaches, and leaders an instructional system for developing students’ literacy skills to prepare them for the demands of college and careers.
NYS Physics Standard 1: Students will use mathematical analysis, scientific inquiry, and engineering design, as appropriate, to pose questions, seek answers, and develop solutions. Key Idea 1: Engineering design is an iterative process involving modeling and optimization (finding the best solution within given constraints) which is used to develop technological solutions to problems within given constraints. (Note: The design process could apply to activities from simple investigations to long-term projects.)
FALL PBL Project:
Bridge Building Module: This 2-3 week project allows student to use prior knowledge about force, gravity, and the normal force to plan, design, & build a model Pratt truss bridge.
Egg Drop Module: This 2-3 week project allows student to use prior knowledge about force, gravity, free fall, impulse, & momentum to plan, design, & build a model vehicle which will protect an egg from an impact experienced during free fall.
