3. Engineers and Us
-

In a way that you recapitulate anecdotes, mention to your students different activities
that are carried out in the classroom such as building with blocks, planning activities
and projects, use measurement units such as rulers, and others.

-

Model how you find certain similarities between engineers, architects and people from
school

-

Ask your students: If we want to compare and contrast, what thought routine could we
use?

-

Present the Venn diagram and the intentionality of its use

-

Let the children document their ideas

-

Preferably use post-it notes, that they could later on move if they change their opinion
regarding what they thought about before

Tool for Thought: Venn diagram

4. Tubing and Engineers
-

Narrate about what they have learned and discovered about engineers and architects

-

With your students, share that the task of engineers goes beyond building houses and
buildings

-

Revisit the Venn diagram or some previous documentation that you consider
