What's in a formula
This laboratory exercise encourages students to perform data collection, and learn how to use formulas at the same time. Students will design a cantilever object using tongue depressors. The tongue depressor will be a substitute for a physical 2x4 beam.

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).
Collaboration, Communication & Systems Engineering
The Gratta group is working on building a detector for neutrino interactions in liquid xenon. This phase of the project involves designing, building and testing a prototype detector as a proof-of-concept.

Designing Vehicles with Common Products
Students will work in teams to design solar powered vehicles that use common products. Examples of common products the students use for their solar vehicle include wheel assemblies and/or chassis. The purpose of the vehicle is to investigate collisions.
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.
Rocket Launch
This exercise encourages students to develop hypotheses, conduct an experiment partially of their own design, and develop methods for data collection and data analysis.
