    In this workshop, we show activities developed and implemented as part of a National Science Foundation project (Award #2121351) based on how to use a modified engineering model to teach about the properties of sound in elementary grades. We cover 4th grade physical science related to forces (Georgia standard, S4P2; NGSS standard 4-PS4-1) and the cross cutting concept of cause and effect. Using translanguaging practices and technology, participants will learn about a modified 7-step engineering method and will participate in building a small guitar. This activity is highly engaging for students and a very effective approach to teach the engineering design process.

    In this workshop you will work in small teams to build a bridge using spaghettis and test it using different masses. We will explain how the building structure is affected by forces using science concepts (balanced/unbalanced forces). In addition, we will connect this engineering activity to children’s literature for the engage section.
