Catapults (Stephen Curry Machines)
The goal of this ETP is to engage students with a hands-on engineering design challenge. Students will spend time designing, testing, and redesigning small-scale catapults. They will make two catapults: a prototype (what this lesson covers) and a final design (not included in this lesson).
Laser Maze - Reflection, Transmission, and Absorption
Laser Maze is an activity that will engage students in learning and utilizing the properties of light waves, such as reflection, transmission, and absorbance, as well as highlighting the importance of these properties in research use by having students create mock ‘pump-probe’ experiments.
Design a Rack to Test the Electrical Output of a Windmill
The goal of this ETP is to engage students in a hands-on engineering project. This ETP is composed of two design challenges. The students should be divided into groups of 4.
Give Me a Beak!
The recently adopted Next Generation Science Standards include both content and engineering standards. In order to encourage engineering thinking and design skills, a current adaptation lab was reworked to add an engineering component. Give Me a Beak!
