Heat Capacity: Can't Take the Heat?
Source Institutions
Why is ocean water sometimes the warmest when the average daily air temperature starts to drop? In this activity, learners explore the differing heat capacities of water and air using real data.
Total Internal Reflection
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners use a laser pointer, empty soda bottle, rubber plug and water to demonstrate total internal reflection.
Spring Scale Engineering
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore how spring scales work and how they are used for non-exact weight measurement.
Ships Ahoy!
Source Institutions
The goal of this activity is to design the fastest sailboat or one that carries the most treasure.
Hand Biometrics Technology
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore how engineers incorporate biometric technologies into products as well as the challenges of engineers who must weigh privacy, security and other issues when designin
The Dead Zone: A Marine Horror Story
Source Institutions
In this environmental science and data analysis activity, learners work in groups to track a Dead Zone (decreased dissolved oxygen content of a body of water) using water quality data from the Nutrien
Biotech in a Bag
Source Institutions
In a series of three experiments, learners explore the basics of biotechnology using self-locking plastic baggies. Each experiment demonstrates a phenomenon or principle of biotechnology.
Without An Ark: The Effects of Storms and Floods
Source Institutions
April showers bring May flowers, but what do coastal storms bring?
Sustainable Grazing
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners investigate the food, water, and space needs of common livestock animals.
Backyard Biodiesel
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners make a small batch of biodiesel that will work in any diesel engine. Learners use an old juice bottle as a "reactor" vessel to chemically process vegetable oil into fuel.
That's the Way the Ball Bounces: Level 3
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners prepare four polymer elastomers and then compare their physical properties, such as texture, color, volume, density, and bounce height.
Keep it Cool
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore how engineers have met the challenge of keeping foods, liquids, and other items cool.
