4th Grade – Lesson 17

• Lesson 17 Objective - guide students through the seven steps of the design process by designing an ice cooler.

• Lesson 17 Standards• Describe the design process as a method of

developing solutions to problems. • Apply a design process that includes defining a

problem, generating ideas, selecting a solution, making an item, evaluating it, and presenting results to solve a technological problem.

• Brainstorm and list ideas when solving a problem or designing an object.

• Report on a topic with appropriate facts and relevant, descriptive details while speaking clearly and at an understandable pace. (correlates to ELA 4.28)

Community Connections


Design Challenge

The year 2037 seems very far away, but it is never too early to plan ahead. Your challenge is to plan improvements to the infrastructure of a community, so that it is prepared to meet the needs of the people who live there in the year 2037. You may choose your own community or any town or city that you can research. You will need to know or learn about the community’s current infrastructure. Your solution must be based on what you have learned about community infrastructure. You also should brainstorm unique ideas that may seem crazy now, but may be the solutions of the future! After you have used the technological design process to develop a solution, your team will present it to the class.


Building Block Overview

explore the history of communication technologies

apply concepts of motion compare the modes of transportation humans meet the need for emergency

services use mean, median, and mode to analyze

real data about population and traffic congestion


Exploration Lessons

Lesson 7 students learn about modes of transportation found in different types of communities

including rural, suburban, and urban areas. students use the design process to construct balloon vehicles that represent cars, vans,

buses, and trains, which will be used in a design and problem-solving activity in Lesson #8

Lesson 8 students conduct an investigation to learn about force and motion and apply knowledge

of metric units of length students covert metric units of length and calculate mean, median, and mode of their

experimental data. students consider natural land and water features as they determine the best way to get

from point A to point B on a map.
