Teach Engineering: Tears in Rain
The goal of this activity is for students to develop visual literacy. They learn how images are manipulated for a powerful effect and how a photograph can make the invisible (pollutants that form acid rain) visible (through the damage...

Better Lesson: Look Who's Talking
This is an introductory lesson to learning who is speaking in a story. The young scholars do this specific skill after the teacher models it in the hook. They get guided practice sorting and labeling who is talking in the guided practice...

Teach Engineering: Concentrate This! Sugar or Salt
Students investigate the property dependence between concentrations and boiling point. In Section 1, students first investigate the boiling point of various liquid solutions. In Section 2 they analyze data collected from the entire class...

Teach Engineering: All Fat Is Not Created Equally!
Students learn that fats found in the foods we eat are not all the same; they discover that physical properties of materials are related to their chemical structures. Provided with several samples of commonly used fats with different...

Teach Engineering: Ranking the Rocks
Student teams assign importance factors, called "desirability points," the rock properties found in the previous lesson/activity in order to mathematically determine the overall best rocks for building caverns within. They learn the...

Teach Engineering: How Cold Can You Go?
Students explore materials engineering by modifying the material properties of water. Specifically, they use salt to lower the freezing point of water and test it by making ice cream. Using either a simple thermometer or a mechatronic...

Teach Engineering: How Many Drops?
In this lesson and its associated activity, students conduct a simple test to determine how many drops of each of three liquids can be placed on a penny before spilling over. The three liquids are water, rubbing alcohol, and vegetable...

Teach Engineering: Coordinates and the Cartesian Plane
A brief refresher on the Cartesian plane includes how points are written in (x,y) format and oriented to the axes, and which directions are positive and negative. Then students learn about what it means for a relation to be a function...

Teach Engineering: Forms of Linear Equations
Learners learn about four forms of equations: direct variation, slope-intercept form, standard form and point-slope form. They graph and complete problem sets for each, converting from one form of equation to another, and learning the...
