In this engaging lesson, students work together to design a water filtration system to separate pollutants from water. This lesson takes about 120 minutes to complete. Various resources are included!

In this lesson students will explore engineering skills in the construction of hot air balloons. They will test their creations to see if they will fly/float and make adjustments if needed.

In this hands-on lesson, students will work together to build a system where energy is transferred between objects for as long as possible (i.e. Newton’s Cradle). Students continue the work that began

This is part one of a design challenge where students are asked to brainstorm a device that allows energy to be transferred for as long as possible, similar to a Newton's Cradle. Students use the

This lesson uses a Modeling Instruction approach to developing the graphical and mathematical relationship commonly known as Newton's 2nd Law for students in Grades 9-12. Students design an experiment

This middle school lesson covers the concept of air resistance. Students work in teams of 3 with a list of materials to design, build, and test 3 parachutes that will maximize the air resistance of a

In this lesson, students will collaborate to design and engineer a product to contain and clean up an oil spill while saving the affected wildlife. They will also accurately complete an itemized

Use the Engineering Design Process to solve Peter's problem! Students will use recycled materials to create their own chair for Peter. After introducing the Engineering Design Process, students will

In this hands-on lesson, students code Edison robots to run races and play tug of war. They will run experiments, measure results, and graph the data. Videos and additional resources are included!
