Sustainable Design Practices - Tier Rating Activity
Have students analyse design practices and rate their sustainability. S tier rating systems require very little explanation due to their prevalence in popular culture, so students can focus on the design decisions themselves. Some tricky ones included for the challenge. Resource includes prompts which hold value in all pillars of sustainable design - social, ecological, economical. All in all a good revision/formative assessment activity.

Naked Egg Drop
Student pairs experience the iterative engineering design process as they design, build, test and improve catching devices to prevent a "naked" egg from breaking when dropped from increasing heights. To support their design work, they learn about materials properties, energy types and conservation of energy. Acting as engineering teams, during the activity and competition they are responsible for design and construction planning within project constraints, including making engineering modificati

Viewing Guide: Animatronics
This activity was designed with 8th-grade Middle School students in mind as a way to activate and increase their background knowledge on the topic of Animatronics, as well as their scientific vocabulary in this field. It can easily be adapted to a 6th-grade group by reducing its length and complexity by half (ie. include only two parts, A and B, instead of three; cut down the number of blanks to 10-11, instead of 22). For a 7th-grade class, I would recommend finding a middle ground. Studen

Maze Challenge
As the first engineering design challenge of the unit, students are introduced to the logic for solving a maze. First they observe a blindfolded student volunteer being guided through a classroom maze by the simple verbal instructions of another student. In this demonstration, the blindfolded student represents a robot and the guiding student represents programming commands. Then student groups apply that logic to program LEGO® MINDSTORMS® EV3 robots to navigate through a maze, first with no sen

Solar Water: Heat it Up!
Students explore energy efficiency, focusing on renewable energy, by designing and building flat-plate solar water heaters. They apply their understanding of the three forms of heat transfer (conduction, convection and radiation), as well as how they relate to energy efficiency. They calculate the efficiency of the solar water heaters during initial and final tests and compare the efficiencies to those of models currently sold on the market (requiring some additional investigation by students).
