Did you know that your body has a built-in cooler? And it might not be what you think. Sweat is produced when you are hot, but its purpose is actually to cool your body as the water in it evaporates from your skin. In this science fair...

With this science fair project measure the effect of wind speed on how quickly an object cools. The Science Buddies project ideas are set up consistently beginning with an abstract, objective, and introduction, followed by a section on...

Sure you understand what makes submarines cool, they allow us go underwater and explore the sea! But understanding how they function is a completely different matter. This lab will help you investigate how submarines dive and surface by...

In the past caves have been used for shelter, for religious purposes, and for burial sites. They were even used for food storage before refrigeration, because they are cool and have constant high humidity. Get ready for an adventure as...

For those students interested in developing cool video game software for computer or those who enjoy applying their compter science skills to solve problems, a career as a computer software engineer might be worth examining. This Science...

Beginning kindergarteners are introduced to science and engineering concepts through questions such as "What is a Scientist?" and "What is an Engineer?", and go on to compare and contrast the two. They are introduced to five steps of the...

We all know that it takes energy to provide us with the basics of shelter: heating, cooling, lighting, electricity, sanitation and cooking. To create energy-efficient housing that is practical for people to use every day requires...

The goal is for students to understand the basics of engineering that go into the design of a sneaker. The bottom or sole of a sneaker provides support, cushioning, and traction. In addition the sole is flexible and can have some fashion...

Cloud formation results when warm, humid air rises and cools, causing the water vapor in the air to condense and form clouds. For this lesson, students will conduct an activity that demonstrates how this occurs.This lesson plan was...
