Grade Lvl:3-5
Engage students in life science and engineering as they design an interactive spinning wheel to model a life cycle. In this lesson, learners select an organism and accurately depict each stage of its life cycle around a circular wheel, combining scientific understanding with clear visual storytelling. Students then engineer a spinning mechanism and pointer so that each turn of the wheel highlights a different stage, reinforcing sequence and cyclical patterns. The blend of mechanical design and artistic detail makes this project a favorite, as students create sturdy, functional models that bring life cycles to life in their hands.
How can we create a rotating wheel that depicts a life cycle?
