Week 2

Making the base of the layout from cardboard

Tell students:

In this lesson, you will work as engineers. Imagine you are an engineer [Engineers are specialists who create or improve technical mechanisms (motors, machines)]. You will work in small groups to build a rainwater harvesting system to irrigate crops.

Divide students into groups of 4-5 people. Provide one set of materials per group.

Note:

Further in the material, an example of the implementation of a rainwater harvesting project is provided. You can use it as an example. Give students the opportunity to think about the design of the project and contribute their ideas for improving it.

1. Take a piece of 50 cm x 30 cm cardboard and draw a layout of the top of the box on it. Cut out the piece.

You should have the basic layout as shown in the video above. Glue the edges using thermoplastic glue.
