In this unit, students will study the effects of acid rain and chemically engineer an environmentally friendly solution to neutralize the acid in a simulated river contaminated by factory run-off

This lesson is the final project in a unit that focuses on circuitry. The task is for students to plan, design, and test a 3D house using electrical circuits that function correctly. To add more

The project requires students to act as mechanical and electrical engineers who are tasked with planning, designing, and testing a new toy invention. This toy must have functioning lights, and teams

This is lesson one for a unit plan on circuitry. In this challenge, students will be tasked with planning, designing, and testing both open and closed circuits. To make things more interesting, they

In this lesson, students will be learning about the challenges of farming in space for future settlements. Specifically they will focus on the difficulty of testing whether plants will grow in soil

In this activity, students will perform a hands-on, inquiry-based investigation of the tradeoffs involved in hard rock mining. The object is to purchase and develop a mine, safeguarding the

Students will construct a model of an ocean habitat to simulate an oil spill. They will then make observations about the behavior of the oil in the water and on the various items in the habitat model
