Working through the engineering design process, fourth graders are testing out each of the knee brace designs they've created, making improvements based on the data they collect from their tests. Did the knee (with the knee brace) move as it was supposed to? Did it take longer than they anticipated it should take to put it on? Was it durable enough to last wearing over and over again? Working in teams, fourth graders will try to improve their knee brace designs to get the optimal score--meaning it met the criteria of the challenge.
