Classroom Structure Design Project

About:

This printable engineering design worksheet asks 3rd graders to choose a classroom structure like a bookshelf, desk, or chair and either redesign or design it from scratch. Students draw a blueprint with labels, list materials, identify the load and support system, and answer reflection questions about building a new school. Includes a self-check list. Good for design-thinking units, science projects, and building on students' understanding of structures.
