Thinking Inside the Box: Designing Plant Packages Book In Stock Now

In Thinking Inside the Box: Designing Plant Packages, students explore the field of package engineering and how the needs of both products and consumers impact package design. The unit begins with the storybook A Gift From Fadil, in which a boy named Fadil living in Jordan explores the field of Package Engineering in order to build a package to protect a gift for his older sister. Over the course of the unit, students explore what a plant needs to live, identify the functions of a package, and determine the structure of a package that can support the health of a plant. Like Fadil, students then follow the steps of the Engineering Design Process to imagine, plan, create, and improve their own plant packages.
