Second graders have officially started their first engineering unit of the year, which is geotechnical engineering. We spent quite some time breaking down the long word...
Geo = earth technical = related to technology
While it may be a mouthful to say, geotechnical engineers are really important! They have to be soil experts, knowing where we can possibly build anything that protects us like a house or a building. Second graders had a change to watch a Brainpop! Jr. video on soil and listen to a soil story called Erosion. (Thanks to everyone who donated to my recent DonorsChoose proposal! This was one of the books I received!)
