| Summary of the story : |
This story lends itself to multiple
engineering aspects, and a few are listed below. The level
at which a teacher develops this within the classroom will,
obviously, depend on the age and ability of the students.
The student's first task would usually be identifying a
need. There are a few suggestions for this, or students may
list their own based on what they notice in the story.
The examples below are just samples of needs that the
children may identify.
• How would the bears know when someone was in their
house? Design an alarm system that would help them with
this.
• How could Baby Bear's chair be made stronger? Compare and
contrast various illustrations and decide which shape it
was. Identify whether it was a 3 legged stool or a 4 legged
chair. (Can carry out the 3 legged design activities to
discuss stability issues).
• How can Goldilocks escape safely from the bear's house?
Children will design a system that allows her to leave the
bedroom without being caught by the bears. E.g . . . . A
slide or a trampoline
As Bears hibernate, design a room in the house for the bears
to use. |
