When thinking about creating a knee brace, it's important to know the available materials! Fourth graders know that the materials they'll be using to design a knee brace will be quite different than the materials they've used otherwise this year like when cleaning up an oil spill or designing a Maglev.
We're spending some time really thinking about the properties of the available materials, and more importantly, how those materials can change to be used in a knee brace design. Can they be cut? Folded? Layered? Are they rigid? Flexible? Smooth?
We're thinking about ALL these factors!
