Design a Environmental Solution Engineering Challenge
There are a number of ways that humans are decreasing the biodiversity on Earth. Some of these processes are deforestation, habitat loss, salinization, urban runoff, air pollution, and water pollution. In this engineering challenge, students are asked to work in collaborative groups to design a solution to one of these problems, effectively increasing the biodiversity of the area. The engineering design process will guide groups through the creation of a prototype to address and fix the issue t

Football Concussion Science: Egg-Helmet Engineering Lab (Forces & Impulse)
Tired of abstract lectures about momentum and concussions that students forget by the next day? Picture your class building, testing, and iterating real prototypes while applying Force, Impulse, and energy-transfer principles — and actually understanding why helmet design changed over the last 60 years. You know that moment when a physics topic becomes nothing more than symbols on the board? This engineering lab flips that script: students design an egg "helmet," collect drop-test data, analyz

The Autobahn ~ Driving in Germany ~ Modern Marvels Movie Guide + Quiz + Project
It's amazing how quickly the kids learn to drive a car, yet are unable to understand the lawnmower, snowblower, or vacuum cleaner." Ben Bergor (American magician & humorist ~ 1893 - 1981)Everyone has heard of the Autobahn - that German superhighway with no speed limit. Well, that's not quite true. On certain stretches there is a speed limit and the Modern Marvels documentary on 'The Autobahn' explains that and so much more about this 'the sky's the limit' driving experience. You get: 1.
