Rain Gauge Design Challenge
In Arizona, rain a major component of the water cycle, is a precious and vital. Students will gain an understanding of the three phase of watrer on the earth: solid, liquid and gas and the four stages of the water cycle. In small groups, students will then participate in a hands on experience rain gauge design challenge.

Students will use published scientific data and current evidence to identify the phenomenon known an urban heat island effect. Students will first analyze temperature data as well as land-use data
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.
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
