Think Like an Engineer: Let's Design a Solution! | SciShow Kids

Teachers and parents: scroll down to check out the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) for this episode! Squeaks, Jessi, and the gang are designing a raft for their friend Juniper. They'll think like engineers and learn how to create a design that solves their problem. NGSS: ETS1.B : Developing Possible Solutions Designs can be conveyed through sketches, drawings, or physical models. These representations are useful in communicating ideas for a problem’s solutions to other people. (K-2-ETS1-2) Performance expectation: K-2-ETS1-2 Develop a simple sketch, drawing, or physical model to illustrate how the shape of an object helps it function as needed to solve a given problem Hosted by: Jessi Knudsen Castañeda (she/her/they/them) ---------- Love SciShow Kids and want to help support it?
