In this activity, students will get firshand experience using the engineering design process. We will read the book "Leif Catches the Wind" together as a class. "Leif Catches the Wind" is a story about a boy who uses the engineering design process to create a windmill that will help churn up the water in a pond to get the fish more oxygen. After reading the book, the students will then use the engineering design process to create a windmill of their own. Above, there are pictures of an example of this activity.
