MCDOWELL ELEMENTARY SCHOOL class full of engineers


Mrs. VanDerworp's third-grade class at McDowell Elementary School is full of future engineers.

With the help of some fourth and fifth graders plus Ms. Sue, the wonderful parent volunteer, they completed a variety of engineering projects. They connected these activities to real-world engineering. 

Working in teams, they designed a roller coaster for a marble, discovered the strength of an arch, and created soundproof packaging, as well as doing many other projects. 

They were also able to do demonstrations for Mrs. Doll's kindergarten class.  As a result of these activities, many students now want to be engineers when they grow up.
