In this video from the Teaching Channel, 6th grade science teacher Channa Comer introduces her students to the engineering design process. Using eggs as model heads, students design and test football helmets to prevent injury to the "brains." Students then apply their neuroscience knowledge to the design process by analyzing the "injuries" and what the real-life medical outcomes would be. [9:43]

Practice brainstorming ideas and collaborating with others to share information using digital tools. Time to complete: 45-90 minutes

This interactive activity, from the Web site developed for the PBS series "Building Big," use your knowledge of bridge design to match the right bridge location in a fictitious city.

Working as if they are engineers who work for (the hypothetical) Build-a-Toy Workshop company, students apply their imaginations and the engineering design process to design and build prototype toys with moving parts. They set up electric circuits using batteries, wire and motors. They create plans for project material expenses to meet a budget.

Choose from several videos that center around social skills such as making friends, solving problems, and working together for a common goal.

A bungee jump involves jumping from a tall structure while connected to a large elastic cord. Design a bungee jump that is "safe" for a hard-boiled egg. Create a safety egg harness and connect it to a rubber band, which is your the "bungee cord." Finally, attach your bungee cord to a force sensor to measures the forces that push or pull your egg.

Learn how to handle situations and problems the right way without getting out of control, overly mad, or even violent. This sight teaches you the "Bam" plan, or tips "to keep your anger from boiling over".

Conflicts are part of life. Children do not go through it without experiencing conflict, so it's only fair that they are taught how to cope with it. This site provides a 12-step kit and a checklist to review progress. Each step is thoroughly explained and the kit is an all-around important resource.

This activiy with cartesian divers introduces the gas laws in a high school chemisry class.

Become a detective to solve the case of the smelly backpack! Act out the clues and draw conclusions to solve the mystery.

When Detective Bentley cannot figure out why his backpack is smelly, he retraces the events in his day to find clues. Taking on the role of detectives, the viewers act out the events of Bentley’s day and use textual clues to solve the case.

Learning Objective:
Draw conclusions from the facts presented in text and support those assertions with textual evidence.

It's a mathematician's dream come true. An easy trick for checking mathematical computations, without a calculator! Believe it or not, it works with all four operations.

Students are challenged to design a way to drop a raw egg from varying heights without letting the egg break. Creative thinking and evaluation of results are critical to the project.

This activity is an inquiry-based investigation where students discover the indicators of chemical reactions (endothermic and exothermic) by collecting data and using that data to develop a testable question for further experimentation.
