Keeping It Cold!

Keeping It Cold!

Cool under pressure! In this hands-on science and engineering module, students in Grades 3–5 take on a real-world challenge: design a storage device that keeps vaccines cold and safe for delivery. Through a guided, age-appropriate Engineering Design Process (EDP), students explore the physical properties of materials, states of matter, and the science of heating and cooling—all while developing teamwork, communication, and problem-solving skills.

With clear facilitation strategies, sentence stems, and support for diverse learners, this challenge supports science content standards while fostering creativity and engineering thinking. Students will investigate global issues around vaccine distribution and learn how science and innovation intersect to solve pressing problems.

This collection was created in collaboration with JASON Learning and Region 4 Education Service Center located in Houston, Texas (TX).

Included Materials

Students gain access to a design challenge module featuring teacher- and student-facing materials that guide them through the Engineering Design Process. The module includes an overview of the challenge, a launch activity to introduce the task, and step-by-step instructions for each phase: Ask, Imagine, Plan, Create/Test/Improve, and Communicate.

Additional planning tools such as challenge rubrics, student roles, budget trackers, and consensus-building strategies are also provided, along with vocabulary supports, sentence stems, and guidance for scaffolding, differentiation, and UDL-aligned supports. While suggested materials for the challenge are provided, they are not included.
