Food Truck Project Simulation - STEM Economics and Design
Food Truck Project may be used alternately as an independent study, for small groups, or engage the entire class in a cross-curricular simulation. All instructions are written so that students working independently may take direction on their own with minimal teacher support. Teacher notes are provided to support teachers in guiding students when needed. The Food Truck Project is presented as a series of sub-units, best used in the order they appear, but adjustable to time available by selective

Bridge Lab
Students set up various demonstrations. They make observations, inferences and predictions based on what they see in these demonstrations. Students investigate the different types of stress, the strength factors that impact a structures design and the importance of trusses. The previews are only part of one page. The entire lab consists of 14 short demonstrations.

Engineering Design Process (Design a Parking Lot)
Students will utilize the engineering design process while designing a parking lot for a school. They will collaborate to sketch and then transfer their design onto a large piece of tagboard. They will use toy cars to test their designs and then go back and make any changes. I used this lesson during my interview for my current position and I got the job...I bet it would work for you too! Hope you enjoy! I will upload the "design brief" file that goes with this lesson for your convenience. I wil

Design and Engineer - Flood Prevention
This is a great hands-on modeling activity that introduces students to the ideas of design and engineering through the seven AP science practices. Students need to use all seven of the practices to design and engineer a prototype device used to prevent homes from flooding.
Students investigate the problem, create blueprints, and build devices using common classroom materials (straw, tape, playdough). They will then test their model by placing a book (I recommend a dictionary) on top of their

Human logic gates engineering workshop
You might have heard that computers run on ones and zeroes, but how do those numerical “bits” interact to power your favorite game or make a video call? This workshop will introduce you to digital logic — the foundation of modern electronics and software. You’ll learn about how you’ve already been using logic in your daily lives, and you’ll get to experience “a day in the life” of a logic gate.

Graphical Understanding of Resultant force / Net Force
Use some simple animation to illustrate to students how the size (magnitude) of resultant force of two component forces depends on the angle between the two component forces.
The size of the resultant force ranges from zero to the arithmetic sum of the sizes of the two component forces.
