Engineering project
Date: 2014

Author: Kevin Hart and Maryanne Rowe

Note: Grades: 6-8

Summary: The objective of the project is to determine if a small residential development is economically feasible to invest in and develop. The kids compare the construction costs against the revenues generated from selling the homes to see if it’s profitable or not. The project contains five (5) lesson plans over the entire school year that teaches the kids about zoning, construction, flooding, drainage, lakes, and other engineering-related topics. Each lesson plan takes 2 days to complete. On the first day, I’ll teach the kids the subject matter; and then on the second day, they work in class on the work sheets (which are graded by the teacher). The main focus for the infrastructure is on the drainage and lake, and how the drainage works, and the importance of the lake (flood protection and fill to raise the land). There are work sheets that the kids have to complete, and it’s all middle school algebra-level problems (area calculations, conversions, slopes, volume calculations, etc.). They also take a “final exam” at the end, which is part of their final grade.

Rain carries soil (cocoa), fertilizer and pesticides (candy sprinkles), and oil (more cocoa) downhill to a lake, where the effects of the pollution become plainly visible. The watershed model then shows ways to help prevent non-point source pollution.
