Welcome to the fascinating world of Engineering! This unit study is designed to guide learners aged 6-12 on an in-depth exploration that will not only provide a thorough study of the subject at hand, but will also involve students in the process through immersive, experiential learning opportunities. Consistent, gentle, and easy-to-follow structure encourages internalization and personal connection with each module.

Be sure to add the Engineering Primary Level Workbook, available in both and formats! These workbooks are not required to complete the unit study; however, they add enriching dimension to the learning experience.

This unit study will be delivered digitally and may be used ebook-style or printed alongside a notebook of your own choosing or with the Harbor Sprout Primary Companion Notebook, available in both or format. You can purchase a physical print copy of this unit study here. Primary Level Unit Studies are open-and-go and non-consumable, meaning that you will not need to write on or cut anything out of the pages. Optional printable notebooking pages are provided. This unit study is intended for elementary learners ages 6-12.

This unit study includes 22 modules. Each module is made up of 3 parts:

Information: This is the reading portion of the module. The reading can be completed independently or with help from an adult. You may take one day or more to complete the reading.
Notebooking Prompts: In the notebooking section of each module, you will have the opportunity to reflect on your reading in a way that is unique to you.
Activities: Each module contains a selection of activities and hands-on learning experiences to choose from. These activities span the range of learning styles and are meant to be completed at whatever pace feels most comfortable to you.

The modules in the Engineering Primary Level Unit Study include:

Module 1: The History of Engineering
Module 2: The Engineering Design Process
Module 3: Simple Machines
Module 4: An Engineer's Toolbox
Module 5: Architectural Engineering
Module 6: Bridges
Module 7: Hydrology
Module 8: Robotic Engineering
Module 9: Mechanical Engineering
Module 10: Aerospace Engineering
Module 11: Aerodynamics

Module 17: Natural Engineering
Module 18: Environmental Engineering
Module 19: Reverse Engineering
Module 20: The Latest Engineering Technology
Module 21: Magnetism
Module 22: Thermodynamics in Engineering

Each module has a list of pertinent subject applications including science, nature study, language arts, writing, history, geography, art, music, math, and life skills. Writing and language arts are also inherently woven into the whole unit through notebooking. Enjoy your adventure with Engineering!
