I think our kids are like us, they need some kind of incentive to get them started. In my home town of Brisbane (Queensland Australia) saturation media (as well as legislation) mobilized the whole community to cut water consumption to under 140 liters per person per day. Anything is possible in a crisis and it is often the young people who are the most enthusiastic in responding when the targets are clear and media message is strong.

Talking about the power of stories to inspire design solutions, check out the London Transport Museum site that invites visitors to interact with a series of scenarios for the future of London's Transport systems. It may take a little time to load, but keep clicking. Where the future seems a series of worrying unknowns, using stories to project from known challenges to creative design solutions is a great classroom strategy, and this resource should be an invaluable tool to get them thinking.

Students should be allowed time to THINK..PLAN and REFLECT to produce the results that would've never happened if the answers were told to them.

Room design is always the topic in elementary schools, since students have to participate in center activities. Students have to have enough room to rotate from center to center as well as their own space to maintain focus during instructional activities.

Problem solving is a difficult concept. You can have a student to role play a chef and have the students to create a plan to assist the chef with cooking for a large dinner party. This is a glad way to teach multiple skills measurements, time, fractions and reasoning.
