Partner Contributed A Mini World: Biodomes Engineering Design Project May 19 2011 Source: TeachEngineering Digital Library 4.19231 In this design-based activity, students explore environments, ecosystems, energy flow and organism interactions by creating a scale model biodome.	Partner Contributed Animals Life Cycle Oct 29 2015 Source: engineeringgood 0 For students who are physically challenged, experiential learning may be difficult as there are not enough products commercially available that are adapted to their learning needs. The apparatus in this experiment have been specially customised to their level of motor skills. These will enhance the learning experience of the students as they can grasp scientific concepts more easily through hands-on experiential learning, having fun in the process.	Partner Contributed Assembly Line Jun 19 2014 Source: IEEE 0 This lesson demonstrates the power of mass production. Students work in teams to design, construct, test, and redesign an assembly line to manufacture a product as quickly and efficiently as possible to meet the quality control criteria.
Partner Contributed Backyard Ecosystem Jun 08 2011 Source: NYSCI 3.77778 In this lesson, students will take photographs and make observations of the living and nonliving things in their area. They will use the information they collect to create a representation of how these things are interrelated and share their representations online.	Partner Contributed Biofuels Mar 20 2011 Source: TeachEngineering Digital Library 3.8 In this lesson, students will design a fermentation experiment and use their data as well as outside research to design a biorefinery plant.	Partner Contributed Build a Big Wheel Jun 19 2014 Source: IEEE 1 Lesson focuses on the engineering behind big wheels (sometimes called Ferris wheels). Teams of students explore the engineering behind the "London Eye," explore the history of big wheels, and construct a working wheel model using pasta, glue, and teabags.
Partner Contributed Build Your Own Robot Arm Oct 02 2014 Source: IEEE 3.75 In this lesson students develop a robot arm using common materials, exploring design, construction, teamwork, and materials selection and use.	Partner Contributed Carbon Sequestration Jun 17 2011 Source: NYSCI 3.57143 In this inquiry-based lesson, students measure the biomass of trees, calculate the carbon stored by the trees, and use this information to create recommendations about the use of trees for carbon sequestration.	Partner Contributed EQuIP-reviewed Carbon Sequestration NGSS Jun 29 2015 Source: NYSCI In this lesson, students will explore the connection between reforestation and deforestation and greenhouse gases. They’ll do this by collecting data about local trees and analyzing and interpreting data about deforestation and reforestation, which will serve as the example in this lesson of one set of activities that can affect levels of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. Students will apply these ideas to the construction of a written argument that helps answer the driving question: What happens to carbon dioxide levels in our local community when trees are removed or added?
Partner Contributed Chair Lift Challenge Jun 19 2014 Source: IEEE 0 Lesson focuses on unique challenges in transportation engineering, such as devising a method for skiers or hikers to get to the top of a mountain. Students work in teams to design a "chair lift" out of everyday items that can transport a ping pong ball in a chair of their own design from the bottom of a "valley" to the top of a "mountain" along a clothes line or wire without the ball falling out. Students design their chairlift and chair on paper, execute their design, test it, reflect on the challenge, and share their experiences with the class...	Partner Contributed EQuIP-reviewed Cheerio for the Planets! NGSS Jun 04 2015 Source: NYSCI In this lesson, students use data related to distances between objects in the solar system to create their own scale model to represent these distances and better understand relationships of objects in the solar system and answer the driving question: How do you study a system that won’t fit in the classroom?	Partner Contributed Critical Load Jun 19 2014 Source: IEEE 4 Lesson focuses on issues civil engineers face, including critical load and how to reinforce the design of a structure to hold more weight.
