Seed Dispersal Device

Having students explore the engineering design process, the ADST curriculum, and applied skills.

ADST Curricular Competencies 

Understanding Context: Students will gather information from their peers and from their background knowledge of dispersal.

Defining: Students will be able to identify the main objective for the design of their invention and any constraints by discussing with teachers and peers. 

Ideating: Students can work by themselves or in groups in order to generate potential ideas and add to others’ ideas. 

Prototyping: Students will be given the opportunity to build a prototype from their potential ideas.

Testing: Students will be able to test and present their prototype and gather feedback from teachers and peers. 

Making: After multiple rounds of testing and alterations, students will be able to construct the final product incorporating all of the planned changes.

Sharing: Students can use a variety of different methods and platforms to share their seed dispersal device. You can also allow time for friendly competition between groups. 

Applied Skills

• During the multistep process the students will have ample opportunity to learn how to use their materials, tools, and technologies in a safe manner.
