…to control the speed, attraction, bounce, and gravity of particles on either side of a divider. As children change these variables, they predict, test, and revise ideas about how the…
…museum visitors. Mechanical duck designed with Paper Mechatronics. Robot Petting Zoo. Paper Mechatronics engaged participants in key engineering design practices (design, build, test), though learners were challenged by translating their…
In this sequence, students learn about modeling with SageModeler, a web-based systems dynamics modeling tool. Students define boundaries of the system, label variables, set relationships, make predictions, and run simulations…
…room-temperature water. This seemingly simple experiment actually leads to very deep science at the molecular level, as blogged before. I took images using FLIR ONE (Figure 2) and SEEK (Figure…
In this activity students will design, build, and test a bridge made with file folders to see which design is the strongest.
…and unconfined aquifers, discover how water moves around gaining and losing streams, and explore the difference between rural and urban area aquifers. Create your own landscapes to test ideas about…
Build a wind turbine and test different blade designs to generate electricity.
…to the Popular Science Magazine, For many, the phrase “chemical reactions” conjures memories of tedious laboratory work and equations scribbled on exams. But Yan Liang, a professor at the University…
