Q&A

Description

Looking for a way to combine history, engineering, and math? Well look no further! This MLK STEM Challenges asks learners to build a podium for Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. so that he can make his famous speech. Google Slides take you and your learners through the lesson and includes a video of the famous speech, timer for the challenge, materials list, etc. Materials are basic office supplies and can be changed based on what you have available.

For a math extension, you can talk about 3D shapes and how a podium is a rectangular prism. Slides also include information about vertices, edges, and faces. At the end of the lesson, learners can calculate the volume of their podium.

Be sure to get the free STEM Notebook paper from my shop to go along with this lesson, as well as the Martin Luther King figure to stand at the podium for testing!

CCSS3.G.A.1

Understand that shapes in different categories (e.g., rhombuses, rectangles, and others) may share attributes (e.g., having four sides), and that the shared attributes can define a larger category (e.g., quadrilaterals). Recognize rhombuses, rectangles, and squares as examples of quadrilaterals, and draw examples of quadrilaterals that do not belong to any of these subcategories.

CCSS5.G.B.3

Understand that attributes belonging to a category of two-dimensional figures also belong to all subcategories of that category. For example, all rectangles have four right angles and squares are rectangles, so all squares have four right angles.

NGSSK-2-ETS1-2

Develop a simple sketch, drawing, or physical model to illustrate how the shape of an object helps it function as needed to solve a given problem.

NGSSK-2-ETS1-3

Analyze data from tests of two objects designed to solve the same problem to compare the strengths and weaknesses of how each performs.

NGSSK-2-ETS1-1

Ask questions, make observations, and gather information about a situation people want to change to define a simple problem that can be solved through the development of a new or improved object or tool.
