Description
England STEM Challenge - Engineering Design with Digital Journals
Take your students on an educational journey to England with this STEM lesson! Read the letter from fictitious travel guides explaining the innovation of the light bulb in England which led to the use of light bulbs in homes and theaters. Students will learn about light refraction and camera obscure as the foundation of how optics work like our eyes and a camera. Then students will complete an engineering design challenge to build a pinhole camera to project an image on their pinhole image screen. Related math problems extend the learning fun!
As with many STEM activities that are student-driven, this challenge can be tailored to students of various skill levels and abilities.
