Mike Schulist at Miller Creek worked on a new lesson with his 8th graders. How to draw a model of three cubes that have different densities. What do they look like inside? How do we draw that as a model?

Thanks for sharing John Flanagan from Sun Valley!
Great day at Davidson Middle School with engineering. Thanks Emily, Ranae, and Jessica! 7th graders building prosthetic arms: Embedded videos were deleted and changed to urls due to upload size of Power Point. 8th graders building amusement park rides: 7th graders testing their toothpick bridges:
I love when I start to look for one thing and I stumble upon such great resources! For the earth science teachers: The NASA's BEST student guides has 9 design challenges (one guide for 3-5 and one for 6-8). An extensive list of STEM resources: websites, games, apps, contests, camps, and careers resources. K-12 (including a section on Math) 3D technology meets life science... All of these resources are off the NSTA Freebie site. So much more to explore!
This article follows up on the discussion of the design process from our January professional development. They show the process through an design lesson on maglev trains where students create cars for a maglev track.
