Description
Need an easy sub day? Maybe a movie day incentive? Keep your students engaged and extend their STEM learning by watching an episode of PBS Kids Design Squad (2008).
Get all the Engineering Design Process resources today and SAVE!
In each episode of this show, teams of high school students are given a challenge by a real-world client (think create an automatic pancake-making machine for a diner or a cardboard furniture set for Ikea) and compete to design and build a winning solution. Your students will love picking a team to root for and watching as they work through the engineering design process, teamwork challenges, design roadblocks, and all.
All STEM in the Middle movie guides include before, during, and after questions to keep your students engaged and learning throughout the entire "movie day." This means you are free to catch up on grades, hold conferences, hang out with your students, or take a much-needed sick day.
Notes:
- This lesson is meant to extend students' understanding of the engineering design process. Students should be familiar with the design process before completing the Design Squad assignment.
- You'll need to locate a free full-length episode on the PBS Kids website here or rent or buy episodes from other streaming platforms before using this resource with your class.
