Engineering for Hazardous Weather: Create a Rescue Kit

iBlocks Project Based Learning Objective:

Even at a young age, it’s necessary that children understand different types of weather and how to be prepared for them. In this Hazardous Weather PBL iBlock, students will research what should be included in a rescue kit for different types of extreme weather. Then they’ll create model rescue kits, develop and test kit delivery, and present a weather report to show off their creations.
  • Grade Band: K-2
  • Primary Focus: Weather
  • Secondary Focus: Engineering
  • Additional Foci: Advanced Literacy, Transferable Skills, Social-Emotional Learning

An iBlock matches skills to standards (like Common Core or NGSS).
Here is a sample content standard for this iBlock:
Some kinds of severe weather are more likely than others in a given region. Weather scientists forecast severe weather so that the communities can prepare for and respond to these events. (NGSS: K-2-ESS3-2)
