A classroom teacher I am working with for the first time had some great ideas for improving the ride poster for our second grade open ended engineering challenge to make their own amusement park ride. She told the students to diagram their ride and add vocabulary to explain how it works. She also helped them with drawing by saying that they did not have to draw every piece but to render the most important pieces. I like that the students thus have to share out their design in more technical detail (engineering design process) and also document their science knowledge (energy, simple machines, electricity).
