Engineering in the Classroom

I am currently hard at work on a new project for my TPT Store.  I am so excited because it is designed to meet the engineering requirements in our new Next Generation Science Standards.  I have been doing engineering activities in my classroom for the past two years.  First, I am a sucker for engineering.  Second, my students love love love them.  But really, I have been doing them because of my involvement in Science Olympiad and what is great for my team winds up getting shared in my classroom.

This past year we did a Rube Goldberg activity and it was the talk of the school.  I can't wait to do another.  Here is a video of one of my favorite shows, "Elementary," and their amazing Rube Goldberg style intro.  Watch it and see if you can catch some engineering fever!
