Packaging Design, Grade 6 - Carla C Johnson

. .

Résumé :
In the Packaging Design module, students will explore the realm of communication. English language arts and mathematics teachers will take the lead in this unit, integrating with science and social studies contexts (which could be collaborations with these classes). In this 25-day extended three lesson module, students will explore packaging (in particular nested packages) to re-purpose and/or market a product to a new user. As they explore, they will develop both content knowledge and strong written and verbal communication skills. Persuasive writing is emphasized in this module, as students will have to convince a client that their new product is marketable. As the students think about nested packages (i.e., packages within packages), they will develop understandings of geometrical properties of 3-D shapes and engineering design.--
