KEVA Planks
"Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication." - Leonardo DaVinci
KEVA planks are an amazing tool for meeting many educational goals. KEVA planks introduce students to problem solving and abstract thinking, as well as concepts in math, physics, and design. Students observe, compare, estimate, plan and make decisions while they are building their creations. Students discover a variety of concepts while building: balance, gravity, dimension, counterbalance, leverage velocity/mass, momentum, symmetry, and innovation.... all important for aspiring young engineers and architects. ISTE standards: Innovative Designer: 4A, 4B, 4C, 4D , Computational Thinker: 5C,5D |
