For example, make it "cheaper". Create a cost sheet of materials and have students update their design but doing it cheaper. Another option has to do with the actual design. Have students build the design in less time. ericromwellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17432815723261197870noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6275859280878901428.post-48583355561338505452014-06-08T11:41:57.990-07:002014-06-08T11:41:57.990-07:00Another idea.....have them write their own book on...Another idea.....have them write their own book on the topic.Linda Riegerhttp://www.pathwaysintoscience.netnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6275859280878901428.post-41413461094648215982014-06-08T11:37:46.088-07:002014-06-08T11:37:46.088-07:00You can let them try Kahn Academy or put them with...You can let them try Kahn Academy or put them with another child with similar interests and let them propose problems for each other to solve. Or you can put them to work on a project in the community that involves their interests. Get them into an after school science project in an informal science program. Give them a chance to work with someone at a local science museum. Linda Riegerhttp://www.pathwaysintoscience.netnoreply@blogger.com
