Natural Disasters: Preventing Erosion
In this lesson, students will work in groups to design a model that will demonstrate the best erosion techniques for the model of a road experiencing flooding or heavy rainfall. Students will be given limited material choices as well as other constraints. Students will design, test, revise, and analyze their designs.

Students work as engineers using the Engineering Design Process to design and create a parachute that will safely land a "rover" on Mars! This STEM activity uses easy-to-gather materials for parachute
In this lesson the students will apply the knowledge of thermal energy to design, build and test a container that keeps cold beverages cold.
Students will use solar panels to transfer solar energy to a fountain. Students will be able to explore and demonstrate the functioning of a solar energy fountain.
