Engineering Tower Construction
In this engineering design activity lesson, students will first learn about Civil Engineers. Then, students will be given an engineering challenge to design a tower with specific constraints. They are constrained by time, materials, and will also have to budget for materials to keep the cost as low as possible. Students must use the Engineering Design Process in building their towers.

In this hands-on lesson, students design and execute an experiment to maximize caffeine extraction when making coffee. The caffeine testing is conducted using a Spectrometer. The focus of this lesson
This hands-on lesson is for the use of a hydroponic system. Tower gardens were the systems used, however, if budget is a concern, there is a very affordable option in the plan as well using tanks
Students will expand their knowledge of Newton's laws while building, launching and changing the design of paper rockets. This design and modeling exercise by JPL/NASA starts students off with a
