The Mexican lemonade ("lim-onade") engineering design challenge – a 5E lesson
https://serc.carleton.edu/nextgen_wa/resources/activities/238805.html

This is a two-session lesson (4 hours each) about the engineering design process and the nature of engineering. The elementary preservice teachers (PST) will experience an engineering design challenge, reflect about the nature of engineering (NOE), and apply both in a lesson that they will teach collaboratively in at least two elementary classrooms. The assessment will include: a first draft of the engineering lesson for elementary students, a final draft after teaching showing the modifications/adaptations done while/after teaching, and a reflection about the process and their learning about the NOE.
