Concrete for Kids

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet

Although preparation-intensive, this would be an unforgettable experience in materials engineering. Stimulate learners' curiosity with a slide show and then introduce them to the components of concrete. Small groups mix and pour concrete into frames. The next day, the concrete is tested for how much weight it will withstand. While the resource says it is adaptable to all ages, you may want to use it only with older learners due to the quantity of materials involved.
