5E Lesson plans developed by participants after a day exploring Civil and Environment Engineering.


 * ===**5E Component**=== || ===**Link to Resource**=== || ===**Brief Description of Resource**=== ||
 * Engage || Tacoma Narrows

Human Bone || The students will watch the following videos about forces to spark their interest. The first one is the Tacoma Narrows Bridge breaking and the second one demonstrates that the human thigh bone is stronger than concrete. || that surround them in their everyday lives. ||
 * Explore || Exploring forces using a 2x4 || As someone sits on a 2x4 students observe and discuss changes in the board. This activity is used to introduce students to forces
 * Explain || [[file:What is a force (1).pptx| What is a force?]] || This is a PowerPoint presentation introducing force, specifically weight force and equilibrium . ||
 * Elaborate || [[file:Civil2_elaborate (1).docx|Bridges]] || In this segment the students will build a bridge of the teacher's choice. They will apply their knowledge to complete force diagrams which relate to their bridges. They will also do research on a bridge and report their findings as to the engineering of that bridge. ||
 * Evaluate || Bridge Comparison

Cargo Bridge || Evaluation: A brief write up and comparison of different bridges. Then time the students on the cargo bridge game for roughly 15 min. See how far the students can get in the allotted time, making it a competition. ||
