?Students were at the culmination of a project on properties of matter and materials. Previously students learned about how heat affects different types of materials in regard to temperature. At the beginning of the module students read through a story and were given a challenge that they would have to complete at the end: A group of students were going to a soccer game but forgot their cooler in which to put their popsicles. After students learned the needed information they were given the task of creating a cooler from materials brought to class that would keep the popsicles from melting over a 30 minute period. Throughout this module students had to keep an engineering journal where they would put the data from experiments and reflections on what they found from those experiments like a engineer would do. Over the course of school year students at grades K-5 will complete four modules where they will be faced with challenges that they will have to solve based on information and experiments they obtain throughout the module.
