The reading described a five-day engineering unit where sixth-grade students explored how materials respond to forces like tension and bending. Through experiments with rubber tubing, wooden boards (including I-beams), and metal rods, students measured deflection, collected data, and graphed their results.

This relates to our class because we focus on: Inquiry-based and hands-on learning Integrating STEM subjects rather than teaching them in isolation Encouraging students to collect, analyze, and interpret dataHelping students develop critical thinking and problem-solving skillsThe reading models how to design lessons where students actively explore concepts and use math as a tool to understand scientific phenomena.

As a teacher, this is important because it shows how to: Make learning meaningful and connected to the real world Move students beyond memorizing formulas to understanding relationships Teach students to use evidence to support their conclusions Build confidence through hands-on, problem-based learning It reminds me that strong teaching blends content areas, promotes reasoning, and helps students think like engineers—not just complete assignments.
