Description

Take the classic STEM and use history to bring your students to the next step. Can you build a canoe model similar to the ones used by Native Americans in the NorthEast This lesson is an application of the historical engineering design process It includes engineering, geometry, ratios, and critical thinking skills.

MATERIALS

Roll birchwood.

Scissors

Template

Needle and thread

Cardboard

Color pencils

Scissors

Tape

This is a completely cross-curricular class lesson for science and history. Students will enjoy making birch wood canoes using STEM, and learning about the history of the canoe.

NGSSMS-ETS1-2
Evaluate competing design solutions using a systematic process to determine how well they meet the criteria and constraints of the problem.
NGSSMS-ETS1-4
Develop a model to generate data for iterative testing and modification of a proposed object, tool, or process such that an optimal design can be achieved.
NGSSMS-ETS1-1
Define the criteria and constraints of a design problem with sufficient precision to ensure a successful solution, taking into account relevant scientific principles and potential impacts on people and the natural environment that may limit possible solutions.
NGSSMS-ETS1-3
Analyze data from tests to determine similarities and differences among several design solutions to identify the best characteristics of each that can be combined into a new solution to better meet the criteria for success.
