Grade Lvl:K-5
Engage students in exploring how the sun’s heat and light support life on Earth and the challenges this poses during hot summer months. In this relatable engineering lesson, learners study material properties and how they affect temperature and safety, especially in outdoor environments like playgrounds. Students are then challenged to design and build a playground model that remains safe and cool in the sun’s rays. Through creative problem-solving and testing, they discover how thoughtful material choices and design innovations can make outdoor spaces safer and more fun for everyone.
How can we keep our playground from burning us during the summer?
