Chicken Coop Conundrum: An Engineering Design Challenge
Class experience
A Chicken Coop Conundrum makes engineering concepts tangible for students by carefully integrating science, technology, and math to solve a real world problem: how to design a backyard chicken coop! Dr. Tory allows students to think critically and drive the direction of the lesson, since engineering often requires open-ended creativity. More than just an introduction to engineering, Chicken Coop Conundrum allows students to make explicit connections between STEM areas for data-informed design...
After taking this class, I will be able to do one or more of the following... -Use data to explain why engineering is a circular/cyclic way to solve real world problems -Use engineering concepts to contrast the design cycle with trial-and-error projects -Visualize the relationships between area, perimeter, addition, multiplication by using an online simulation -Use data to judge whether a design solution meets the criteria and constraints of a problem -Apply knowledge of animal behavior to make informed design decisions
Dr. Tory has a PhD in Biology and professional experience in reformed STEM education that increases both rigor and engagement for k-12 students.
1 file available upon enrollmentIt is highly recommended that learners use a device that can run the Phet Area Builder online simulation: https://phet.colorado.edu/sims/html/area-builder/latest/area-builder_en.html (lower-tech substitute: graph paper and pencil). It is also recommended that students have a paper and pencil handy for recording helpful calculations or ideas.
In addition to the Outschool classroom, this class uses:
We will be accessing the Phet Area Builder online simulation during this class: https://phet.colorado.edu/sims/html/area-builder/latest/area-builder_en.html Enrolled learners will have access to an optional, printable, graphic organizer for writing and sketching their ideas.
My name is Tory Williams and I enjoy teaching a variety of STEM topics, especially related to animal behavior and engineering. As someone with invisible disabilities, I also love to teach on topics related to disabilities, mental health, and...
