Unit

The Science of Craft: Building New Materials with Old Techniques

Grades

6-9

The Science of Craft unit banner

STEM is older and more expansive than you might imagine. Crafted materials, like knit sweaters and woven baskets, were our ancestors’ solutions to everyday problems. In this lesson, we learn the geometry and physics of traditional crafts, and explore how these technologies help us engineer new solutions for the future!

Lesson 3

Students apply their geometric knowledge to design gap-free structures. They are given constraints and must stay within those constraints to construct thier structures.
