Directions: Working in small groups (4-6 people), conduct a “Scientific Method Experiment” using M&Ms and report findings to the class (15 minutes).
Lesson Objective: To have students apply the scientific method to find an answer to a question based on real observations that occur in the natural world.
Complete the Following:
1. Identify a Question (Problem Statement):
State Hypothesis: __________________________________________________________
2. Develop and list the Procedures needed to conduct the Experiment:
List Independent Variable: _______________________________________________
List Dependent Variable: _______________________________________________
3. Collect Data:
4. Conclusion (Explain Results and Findings):
IPST STEM Workshop
May 8, 2013
Workshop Activity #2 – Engineering Design
Directions: Working in small groups (4-6 people), complete an “Engineering Design” Challenge using M&Ms (30 minutes).
Lesson Objectives: To have students apply and document the engineering design process and to show how the concepts of STEM are connected to this process.
Complete the Following:
Conditions: A store owner would like to reward the children who visit his store by giving them a few free M&M’s candy.
Challenge: Develop a prototype of “candy dispenser” that freely dispenses a few M&M’s candy to children. Document the steps used to develop this prototype in the Engineering Notebook.
Criteria and Constraints:
Criteria: Must be able to freely dispense a few (3-6) M&M’s at a time. Must hold at least one bag of M&M’s.
Constraints: Built using only materials and tools supplied. Must be completed in 40 minutes.
Resources: Various tools, materials, and equipment available in the workshop room.
Evaluation:
Prototype (50%)
Engineering Notebook Documenting Engineering Design Process (25%)
STEM Concepts (25%)
Engineering Notebook
Directions: An engineering notebook contains proper documentation so that ideas are not lost and projects can be duplicated. In addition, in the notebook, your team will list how the concepts of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) related to this activity.
Complete the Following:
1. Identify the Problem, Need, or Preference:
2. Information Gathering to Develop Possible Solutions
3. Selection of the Best Possible Solution
4. Design and Making
5. Testing to see if it Works
6. Modifications and Improvement
7. Assessment
