 | Learning what an engineer does is hard work! Kindergartners are learning to identify the characteristics of the designed world, focusing on the difference between living and non-living things and human-made vs. natural things. We're starting with our first sort of the year, identifying the technologies engineers make! Some items are tricky to identify, because not all non-living things are designed by engineers.
