Students will perform protein purification using column chromatography to gain a greater understanding of the biomanufacturing process of going from a cell to a protein to a product.
Students will learn the difference between precision and accuracy while using tools like rulers and calipers to measure items and calculate standard deviations.
Students are challenged to determine if powdered drink mixes like Gatorade combine with water to create a mixture or chemically react to create a new substance called Gatorade.
Students will work to understand how devices like a three-speed fan or a dimmer switch adjust the flow of electricity in a circuit to have different outputs.
In this challenge, students will practice problem-solving and collaboration skills as they design, build, and test their wind turbine
prototypes. Students will explore the role of renewable energy in powering communities, learn about energy transfer and mechanical systems, and gain insight into the importance of sustainable energy solutions.
In this design challenge, students take on the role of biomedical engineers to design a prosthetic that helps an injured marine animal regain its ability to swim.
In this design challenge, students will learn about the history of westward expansion in the United States and the difficulties that migrants faced while traveling.
In this activity, students will read the story "In a Garden" by Tim McCanna. They will learn about the life cycle of a plant, what seeds need to grow, and what keeps seeds from growing. They will then create their own seed house and watch their seeds sprout!
