High school students working in teams of four build their own organic solar cells to learn how a device made with dye from berries can be used to convert light energy into electrical energy.ĭo you see shining engineering potential among your students? Nominate them to test-drive an engineering future with Envision’s NYLF Engineering & Technology program (for high school)! In this lesson, students analyze a model rocket's design and flight, compared to a real rocket.

Chemical Engineering: Plants to Plasticsĭesign Squad® is an Emmy and Peabody Award-winning PBS series that provides hands-on engineering challenges to bolster students’ understanding of electricity, sound and force units.

Mechanical Engineering: It’s About Time.

Students will learn about the water clock mechanism operation, while applying critical thinking to evaluate design improvements.Įngineering is Elementary (EiE) from the Museum of Science in Boston brings us a variety of wonderful real-world engineering challenges for grades 6-8, all of which may be downloaded for free:

It sounds complicated, but can be accomplished by middle school students using simple materials such as soft drink bottles and graduated cylinders. This lesson is part of a series of six, in which students use their growing understanding of various environments and the engineering design process, to design and create their own model biodome ecosystems. Students use Internet resources to explore the side effects of technology, and then design, implement and evaluate solutions for waste disposal.

In addition, we’d like to include two lesson plans that are not technically “hands-on,” but are popular with elementary school children, due to their intriguing topics: The Engineering is Elementary (EiE) Curriculum from Boston’s Museum of Science offers several engaging science activities. Trying their hands at Biomedical Engineering, students use common household materials such as baggies, popsicle sticks and straws to construct a rescue litter that is stable, lightweight, low-cost, portable, and sturdy enough to carry a simulated human (potato). In this activity, students use Lego blocks to create and evaluate different types of structures, learning the basic concepts involved with building and design. All activity ideas are organized by grade level. Resources included at these links include detailed teacher instructions and material lists, as well as informational hand-outs for students, with illustrations, diagrams and often accompanying videos. With these activities, you will help your students grasp engineering principles and their applications in the real world, while potentially inspiring rewarding career pursuits.

In honor of Engineers Week, February 21-27, we present a variety of hands-on engineering-related activities and lesson plans for your classroom. Presidential Inauguration Leadership Summit.
