Teachers and parents: scroll down to check out the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) for this episode!
Squeaks, Jessi, and the gang have all designed rafts for our friend Juniper to ride. Now, we'll think like engineers by testing our designs, comparing them, and improving them to make the very best raft we can!
NGSS:
ETS1.C: Optimizing the Design Solution
Because there is always more than one possible solution to a problem, it is useful to compare and test designs.(K-2-ETS1-3)
Performance expectation: K-2-ETS1-3 Analyze data from tests of two objects designed to solve the same problem to compare the strengths and weaknesses of how each performs
Hosted by: Jessi Knudsen Castañeda (she/her/they/them)
