Goal: Use the practice of engineering to design a solution to the Remotely Operated Vehicle (ROV - Robot) buoyancy problem to help the class choose the next solution.
Background: On Friday, we watched the test of the Robot in the pool. (Click the link to watch it). We saw that it did not operate as we wanted it to. We need to design a solution to the buoyancy issues we saw. Let’s use the engineering and design process to solve the problem. Mini-Lesson: 1) Watch the video of the ROV from Friday. 2) Begin the process of imagining and planning a solution to our buoyancy problem. Go to Google Classroom to find your copy of this organizer to record your thinking and ideas through the design process. 3) Discuss as a class the steps you will go through to design a solution. Studio Time: Work on your solution. We will stop a few times to share ideas with the class and evaluate possible solutions. Gallery Walk to offer “I like,” “I wish,” “I wonder” feedback. Class discussion to choose the best solution to build and test next. Verbal Ticket out: Did you agree with the class decision? Why or why not?

Course DescriptionStudents will be creating a standardized method of collecting microplastics in conjunction with community science members. A mobile application will be created to quantify the amount of microplastics throughout the Great Lakes.
