**Welcome to the Introduction to Engineering Series, a captivating exploration into the world of problem-solving, innovation, and the foundational principles that underlie the diverse disciplines within engineering. **
Every reading in the series follows a structured process, ensuring that students can develop their critical thinking and problem-solving skills as they progress through the activities.
Let’s begin with Engineering Design Process…
In Stage 1, students prepare for the informational text by matching ten key vocabulary words with their definitions, setting the stage for a deeper understanding of the text.
In Stage 2, students dive into the informational text, reading it independently or with a partner, small group, or center.
In Stage 3, students are tested on their comprehension with six multiple-choice questions, ensuring that they understand the material before moving on.
In Stage 4, students explore a case study, again reading independently or in a group.
Finally, in Stage 5, students are tested once more with six multiple-choice questions that assess their comprehension of the case study.
This resource contains:
1 informational text
10 essential vocabulary words with definitions
1 case study (Water Purification System)
12 multiple-choice comprehension questions (6 per reading) complete with answer sheets
Answer strips for students to write their answers on (optional)
This resource is perfect for educators looking for an engaging and effective
teaching tool, or for individual learners looking to develop their comprehension skills.
To ensure that this resource can be used time and time again, we recommend that the text, assorted vocabulary matches, and comprehension question and answer sheets be laminated for durability. This will help to preserve the quality of the resources, making them a valuable long-term addition to your teaching toolkit.
All the very best!
