Paintbrush Design

Structure and Function: Exploring Design

The students in Mrs. Foreman's kindergarten class have participated in discussions and hands on activities identifying the structure and function of products we use and see daily. They have explored, modeled, and evaluated objects to determine the specific purpose. 

In this lesson, the student's goal was to create a paintbrush. They had to build and test a physical model. The students identified the differences between new and improved paintbrushes in comparison to their creation. It was AMAZING to see their creative minds actively engaged. 

The supplies are distributed! Let the DESIGNING Begin!!!

The students explored many ways to create their paintbrushes. Their engineering minds were hard at work!!

The smiles of success filled our classroom
