5
Engineers Solve Problems
• Problem: The water is deep and it’s heavy
• Need: People need water
6
Structures To Support Weight
7
Engineering Design Challenge
• Create a structure to support the weight of the well– First re-create the original
prototype– Create your own design
using the Design Storyboard
• Test your design at the well stations– Weigh the buckets on the
scales
