This book of 10 challenges is an innovative way to teach students about science and engineering practices, disciplinary core ideas, and crosscutting concepts through hands-on activities that foster creativity, critical thinking, and problem-solving skills.

With a focus on grade-level appropriate tasks, this resource provides teachers with the tools they need to guide students through the engineering design process and scientific inquiry process.

Each challenge is designed to build upon the previous one, culminating in a main challenge that allows students to apply what they have learned to test their creations.

The book includes academic vocabulary, time frames, and formative assessments specific to each challenge, as well as materials needed for most of the activities found in the classroom or recycling bin.
