Distance Learning: Waves in the Real World Presentations Project
The purpose of this project is to challenge students to make connections between longitudinal and transverse waves and their real-life applications. This project is a great extension after a unit on light vs. sound waves, wave characteristics, etc. that will get students building relevance and understanding on their content knowledge. They get to be the scientists, researchers, and hone in on an essential real-world skill: public speaking! This project challenges students to think outside the bo

STEM Design for Learning: Designing Weather Instruments
A Webquest for Real World Project-Based Learning
The Weather Station WebQuest is a great way to introduce students to the world of weather measurement and invention. The webquest and design process supports critical thinking and collaboration as students form teams and make decisions about weather instrument design. The final product is a weather station with models representing best efforts in inquiry, research, design, collaboration, and decision making.

ENVIRO LAND - A DESIGN BRIEF
This design brief was developed as a general engineering brief but can be used for a variety of other purposes. For example, some students at the middle school level may still have difficulty in creating an overhead projection and as a result may have difficulty in reading and interpreting maps. An activity like this could prove helpful in identifying these students. Enviro-Land might also be used to reinforce the environmental issues the students have been studying as well as a venue for puttin

ROLL A RAMA - A DESIGN BRIEF
This design brief could be used as a general design challenge or as a discrepant event for introducing the concept of inertia and Newton’s laws. In any case, students will need to explore the rolling characteristics of each of the cans of soup as well as the other variables that affect their relative speeds. Given the mathematics background of the students, the formula V =d/t could be used to compute the speed of each can (V = velocity, d = distance and t = time).

DRILL THE WELL A LITTLE DEEPER - A DESIGN BRIEF
This challenge was designed to complement an environmental program that includes the conservation of natural resources. This design brief does not require the students to have prior knowledge but will provide an opportunity for the students to research water conservation practices and devices and to collect data regarding their own water usage. If the specificity of the water conservation device is determined ahead of time by the teacher, this activity could also be used as a physical science le

Clean Up The Oil Spill Decision Making Activity
This oil spill activity is perfect for Earth Day. It teaches students how to research engineering design methods to clean up water pollution spills. Students must then synthesize and analyze the information collected. The last step in this activity is for students to take into account the human and environmental impacts of each clean-up method and decide which method is the best one to use to cleanup the spill.Students will complete research on a variety of oil spill clean up methods and use the
