PBS provides many resources that help students learn the design process, and this post provides a short description. There are projects for students in grades K-1 up through high school and beyond. Below are names of a few of the projects.
* Designing a Wheelchair for Rugby - use to launch a design project in your classroom
* Scientist Profile: Inventor - have your student meet a teen scientist and see what he invented...and have them design their own invention
* A House for Teddy Bear - Watch young users use problem solving skills and trial and error as they create a house...and try it in your classroom.
An additional three ideas are in the post and more may be found on the PBS website (http://www.pbslearningmedia.org/). You will need to create a log-in.
