Soaring Towers: Building with Recycled Materials
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will build the highest tower they can out of recycled materials.
Measuring the Wind
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore how anemometers work to record wind speeds and how the equipment has undergone engineering adaptations over time.
Build a Bridge
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners use recycled materials to build a bridge that holds as many potatoes as possible. They investigate weight, height, strength, and measurement as they seek design solutions.
A Question of Balance
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore how engineers use scales and measures when designing a manufacturing process to ensure that final products are uniform in weight or count.
Exploring Size: Measure Yourself
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners mark their height on a height chart and discover how tall they are in nanometers.
What is a Nanometer?
Source Institutions
This lesson focuses on how to measure at the nanoscale and provides learners with an understanding how small a nanometer really is.
Making a Simple Astrolabe
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners make an astrolabe, a device used for measuring altitude, including the height of objects in the sky.
Spring Scale Engineering
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore how spring scales work and how they are used for non-exact weight measurement.
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
