Engineers often create small-size models of a new product to test its design. This is especially true with airplanes. Model testing tells engineers how a design responds to different air conditions
This lesson compares and contrasts different hydroponic systems and their benefits and setbacks. Then, the plan walks the students through the hands-on activity of creating a Kratky bin for hydroponic
This lesson takes place in a classroom over two weeks. Students may work in small groups of 2-3. Prior to the robotics challenge, teachers should facilitate student discussion through guided lessons
