How Clean is that Water?
"Overview: This lesson plan helps students understand the factors that affect water quality and the conditions that allow for different animals and plants to survive. Students will look at the effects of water quality on...
Heat It Up!
"Overview: Through a teacher demonstration using water, heat and food coloring, students see how convection moves the energy of the Sun from its core outwards. Students learn about the three different modes of heat trans...
Hovercraft Racers!
"Overview: Students gain first-hand experience on how friction affects motion. They build a hovercraft using air from a balloon to levitate a craft made from a compact disc (CD), learning that a bed of air under an objec...
Heat Flow and Diagrams Lab
"Overview: Students' eyes are opened to the value of creative, expressive and succinct visual presentation of data, findings and concepts. Student pairs design, redesign and perform simple experiments to test the differe...
Houston, We Have a Problem!
"Overview: Students apply their mathematics and team building skills to explore the concept of rocketry. They learn about design issues faced by aerospace engineers when trying to launch rocketships or satellites in orde...
The Heart of the Matter
"Overview: This lesson describes how the circulatory system works, including the heart, blood vessels and blood. Students learn about the chambers and valves of the heart, the difference between veins and arteries, and t...
Household Energy Conservation and Efficiency
"Overview: Students complete three different activities to evaluate the energy consumption in a household and explore potential ways to reduce that consumption. The focus is on conservation and energy efficient electrica...
Hearing: How Do Our Ears Work?
"Description Overview: Students learn about the anatomy of the ear and how the ears work as a sound sensor. Ear anatomy parts and structures are explained in detail, as well as how sound is transmitted mechanically and...
Household Energy Audit
"Overview: Students review the electrical appliances used at home and estimate the energy used for each. The results can help to show the energy hogs that could benefit from conservation or improved efficiency. Subject:...
Heads Up
"Overview: The purpose of this activity is to demonstrate some of the different parts of an airplane through the construction of a paper airplane. Students will build several different kinds of paper airplanes in order t...
A House Is a House for Me
"Overview: Students brainstorm and discuss the different types of materials used to build houses in various climates. They build small models of houses and test them in different climates. Subject: Architecture and Desi...
Hot or Not
"Overview: Students learn the purpose of a fever in the body's immune system and how it protects the body against germs. The students continue to explore temperature by creating a model thermometer and completing a tempe...
Harvesting Oil from the Earth
"Overview: In this lesson, students investigate sources of fossil fuels, particularly oil. Students will learn how engineers and scientists look for oil by taking core samples from a model of the Earth. Also, students wi...
Hot Stuff!
"Overview: Students observe demonstrations, and build and evaluate simple models to understand the greenhouse effect and the role of increased greenhouse gas concentration in global warming. Subject: Engineering, Atmosp...
Harnessing Wind
"Overview: This lesson introduces the ways that engineers study and harness the wind. Students will learn about the different kinds of winds and how to measure wind direction. In addition, students will learn how air pre...
Hot Problem Solving
"Overview: Student teams follow the steps of the engineering design process to meet the challenge of getting their entire class from one location on the playground to the sidewalk without touching the ground between. The...
Hare and Snail Challenges
"Overview: Students engage in the second design challenge of the unit, which is an extension of the maze challenge they solved in the first lesson/activity of this unit. Students extend the ideas learned in the maze chal...
Hot Potato, Cool Foil
"Overview: Students explore material properties by applying some basic principles of heat transfer. They use calorimeters to determine the specific heat of three substances: aluminum, copper and another of their choice....
Hot Cans and Cold Cans
"Overview: Students apply the concepts of conduction, convection and radiation as they work in teams to solve two challenges. One problem requires that they maintain the warm temperature of one soda can filled with water...
The Hospital of the Future: Engineering through Robotics and Automated Patient Care
"Overview: Students further their understanding of the engineering design process while combining mechanical engineering and bioengineering to create an automated medical device. During the activity, students are given a...
