The Tech Museum of Innovation: Save the Hiker [Pdf]

Curated by ACT

Can you build a device that will deliver life-saving treatment to someone in a hazardous situation? During this lesson, students will learn how energy is converted and transferred between objects. Working in groups and through the iteration process, teams will increase their knowledge of energy transfer by building a Non-Electric Emergency Delivery System (NEEDS) that will help a search-and-rescue team save lives. This 41-page unit includes detailed lesson plans, evaluation criteria, resource links, a bibliography, and student handouts.
