Students will learn lots of information about the rainforest featuring the different layers, the animals, birds, plants, and other important concepts. Students will then use this information and
Students will design a balloon rocket. They will then create a fish line track for the rocket to follow. The track will be able to me modified to test different angles of ascent. This will allow
Let the students experience being industrial or manufacturing engineers as they convince bag companies about the best plastic material to upcycle for a more sustainable bag option. Through the Plastic
