Pump It! Water Engineering Design Activity

In this hands-on activity, student groups design, build, test and improve devices to pump water as if they were engineers helping a rural village meet their drinking water supply. Students keep track of their materials costs, and calculate power and cost efficiencies...

Kit-based educational resources, which offers ready-to-use experiments and learning modules for educators. LINKS Science Take Out

Selectively Permeable Membranes

Students learn that engineers develop different polymers to serve various functions and are introduced to selectively permeable membranes. LINKS Selectively Permeable Membranes

Surface Tension lab

Students extend their understanding of surface tension by exploring the real-world engineering problem of deciding what makes a “good” soap bubble. Student teams first measure this property, and then use this measurement to determine the best soap solution...
