Biodomes Engineering Design Project
In this design-based activity, learners explore environments, ecosystems, energy flow and organism interactions by creating a model biodome. Learners become engineers who create model ecosystems.
Oil Spill Cleanup
This hands-on experiment will provide learners with an understanding of the issues that surround environmental cleanup.
Engineer an Octopus Suction Pad
Source Institutions
In this engineering design challenge, learners build an octopus-inspired suction pad that can grab an object and hold it tightly in the air.
Control a Bird’s Flight
Source Institutions
In this engineering design challenge, learners make a bird and then control its flight with attached strings.
Linkages
Source Institutions
This design challenge is an open-ended exploration of linkages, a group of parts connected by hinges, and the types of motion they can create.
Motor Bird
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners build a bird that flies in place with help from a motor, wire, and some straws.
Lever Cowboy
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners build a figure that moves and "comes to life" when they pull its string.
Aviary Architect
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners are challenged to design, build and test a birdhouse that will stay cool in the sun.
Transformation of E. coli Using Green Fluorescent Protein
Source Institutions
In this activity related to plant biotechnology, learners transform a strain of E. coli using green fluorescent protein from a bioluminescent jellies.
