States of Matter

• Students learn how the states of matter are present in all objects, and how changes in energy can cause changes in state.​ They then apply these principles by creating ice cream without using a freezer.

Extreme Weather

• This project teaches students the science behind meteorology and extreme weather patterns, such as tsunamis and hurricanes, and engineering’s role in preparing for them.

Bridge Building

• Students learn about structural integrity and compete to build the strongest and most stable bridge.

Earthquake Towers 

• Students learn about civil engineering and geometry to understand how structures are strengthened to withstand natural disasters.

Egg Drop

• Students learn about physical principles like gravity and shock to protect an egg dropped from a substantial height using designs made by the students.

Boats

• Students learn about what sinks and floats, options for designs and how engineering takes "tweaking" a design to make a great, wind powered boat.

Georgia O'Keefe

• Students learn about Georgia O'Keefe and the process of water color painting. ​

Pablo Picasso​

• Students learn the history of Picasso and Cubism and create their own self-portraits in a Cubist style. ​

Cardiovascular System​

• Students learn about the cardiovascular system and how blood pumps through our bodies. They learn how exercise effects our heart rate and how to measure your heart rate.​

Respiratory System

• Students learn about the respiratory system and the science behind breathing through a hands on model that uses negative pressure. The model shows how our lungs and diaphragm work together to supply our bodies with oxygen.​
