Fun with Engineering in the Classroom

First grade teacher Alexis Langer introduced her young students to the concept of engineering with a hands-on project that was a ton of fun for everyone.

The monthly STEM project for January included a discussion about incline planes and how they help move objects from one point to another. The “mission” was to build a sled to travel down a hill (inclined plane).

If you look close enough you will see their traveler was Baby Echo, the owl all the children know and love from their Fundations studies.
