This lesson has been peer reviewed by C2SL participant teachers using the EQUiP rubric.
You Light Up My Life includes multiple background lessons that provide students with strong background knowledge prior to the engineering project. There are also math activities for each math standard. There is opportunity to use this unit with other heat-based phenomena.
The teacher who uses this unit will need to develop differentiated instruction and be well versed in the engineering design process.
Thoughts for stronger alignment with NGSS: Students should be provided the opportunity to implement the engineering process, including a process for feedback and redesign.
