The Tech Museum of Innovation: Animal Rescue [Pdf]

Curated by ACT

Scientists often need to gather information in order to form a deeper understanding of the problem. Can your team gather scientific evidence to help inform the design of a device that will help move endangered animals from one protected area to another? This lesson connects the engineering design process with ELA reading, evaluating, and presenting skills. Students will obtain and evaluate scientific information through research that will support their engineering design decisions.
