Lesson Title: The Power of Teamwork; In Students and In the Subjects of Mathematics and

Science

Subtitle: Creating a Successful Barrier

Lesson Description:

Students will use skills in their area of expertise to design the perfect barrier that will possibly hold back the sediment.

Student Learning Outcome:

Students will have obtained more in-depth knowledge of calculating and measuring the sediment flow.

Prerequisite Knowledge: Students will already have basic knowledge of:

1. How to solve basic and new problems.

2. Basic knowledge of Mathematics.

3. Basic knowledge of rates/calculations.

4. Measurements in constructing/building (Engineering).

5. Using flow rates in solving engineering problems.

6. The basics of Science and Technology as well.

Course Standards: Use for grades 7-8.

Engineering Connection: The students will have already have read and studied some sort of steps on how to design barriers, how to use flow rates to solve problems, and how to measure/calculate. Also, the students will have some knowledge of the combination of Mathematics and Science.

Lesson Sources: A combination of the classroom Science book and knowledge and skills from Mathematics class (knowledge of measurements and calculations in designing graphics).

Teacher Preparations:

1. Provide students with the details of the project.
