Full teaching script
  1. Today: Junk model building. Our goal: Plan and build a model from recycled boxes.
  2. Take one idea at a time. Pause after each sentence; ask for repetition whenever you need it.
  3. Makers plan first, then build, then test and improve. Joining materials with tape, glue or split pins changes how strong and bendy they are.
  4. Together: choose one example from the explanation and show how it works. What do you notice?
  5. Your turn: Draw a plan for a rocket or robot, then build it from clean recycling.
  6. Reflect: what made sense, and what would you like explained differently?
