Engineering Solutions
Even though the name of this resource is Engineering Solutions, the lesson is about waste disposal. Students use the Internet to design a solution to a waste solution problem. Groups work together to design a solution to the school's garbage problem. The lesson plan has embedded readings and a timeline that motivates students and prepares them to get ready to design their solutions using Internet resources. Groups present their solutions and students' journal entries explaining why they think the solution is beneficial or has drawbacks. Since students are grouped, this is a good opportunity to differentiate instruction.
