Working in pairs, students designed and built small lift systems using cardboard, syringes, tubing, masking tape, and recycled materials.\r\nThe next steps for my students are to improve and redesign their hydraulic car lift prototypes by testing for strength, stability, and lifting efficiency. Students will analyze what worked well in their first design and identify areas that need improvement, such as stronger support structures, smoother movement, or better balance. They will then apply the engineering design process to create updated versions of their lifts.","fullyFundedDate":1760801210241,"projectUrl":"project/hydraulic-heroes-engineering-in-action/9684992/","projectTitle":"Hydraulic Heroes: Engineering in Action","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Alani","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9838995_orig.jpg?crop=2062,2062,x0,y804&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1738341799990","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9838995"},{"teacherId":9838995,"projectId":9951268,"letterContent":"Students worked in small groups and used materials such as cardboard, paper tubes, plastic bottles, and other recycled items to design the body of their flashlight. They used copper tape as the conductive path, connected an LED light, and added a battery to complete the circuit.\r\n\r\nWhen my students first saw the materials, they were very curious and excited. Many of them had never worked with LED lights and copper tape before. The most exciting moment was when they connected the battery and the LED light turned on.\r\n\r\nThe next steps for my students are to continue exploring how electricity and simple circuits work. After successfully creating a flashlight using LED lights, copper tape, batteries, and recyclable materials, students will improve their designs by testing different ways to place the battery and the copper tape to make the circuit more reliable","fullyFundedDate":1766988627255,"projectUrl":"project/building-flashlight/9951268/","projectTitle":"Building Flashlight","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Alani","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9838995_orig.jpg?crop=2062,2062,x0,y804&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1738341799990","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9838995"},{"teacherId":9838995,"projectId":9270240,"letterContent":"My students are using the coin batteries, copper tape, and LED lights to design and create interactive STEM greeting cards.
