Engineering Design Challenge: Spacecraft Structures
|
This web seminar highlights the distinctions of the Next Generation Science Standards
(NGSS) from prior science standards and showcases the NASA Explorer Schools featured
lesson: “Engineering Design Challenge: Spacecraft Structures.” The seminar will
also detail the alignment of these activities to the specific Disciplinary Core
Ideas, Science and Engineering Practices, and Crosscutting Concepts of the NGSS.
During this web seminar participants will learn how to incorporate the excitement
of rocketry into the classroom and receive an overview of the student engineering
design challenge Spacecraft Structures. This engaging lesson is an opportunity for
students to design and construct a strong but lightweight structure that can withstand
the launch of a water bottle “rocket.” During the course of this seminar participants
will see how scientific principles and the engineering design process used by NASA
are applied in this activity. Participants will see videos of students engaged in
the lesson and collaborate with other participants, discussing the alignment of
the activity to their curriculum utilizing the NGSS.
