Lab TV – Engineering & Science Research
Posted on November 6th, 2009 by ASEE
Brief, engaging webisodes feature the work of Department of Defense engineers and scientists, ranging from dolphin training to austronauts’ high tech gloves to computer design of naval vessels. The web videos encourage student interest in STEM subjects and technical careers at a Defense laboratory.

Students work in small teams to design a heat- and water-conserving “green roof” of plant material for an urban apartment building. This is a multimedia project for grades 9-12, involving Web and library research, hand drawings, creation of exhibit boards with text, photos and data graphics, and a final presentation of findings.
An attractive website offering teacher resources for grades 6-8 to study green roof and related environmental technology. Includes interactive online presentations and downloadable lesson plans and activities, a student workbook, and teacher guide.
Ever touch a metal object on a hot day? The heat burns your fingers. But the ground is cool enough to walk on barefoot. Different materials have a different heat capacity, something engineers consider in designing everything from houses to hair dryers. In this lesson for grades 3-5, students compare the heat capacities of different materials and learn why heat capacity is an important property of thermal energy.
Through fun camps, money for college, and leadership training, the Materials Information Society (ASM) supports students pursuing a career in materials, science and engineering.
Attend a free hands-on workshop that explores man -made materials. Have lots of fun and learn about the science of materials, (AKA: “stuff’ ) from experts. High school teachers: its free, 5 days 40+ hours, full standards based physical science curriculum, free instructional content, free CEU’s. Join thousands of inspired physical science teachers who have attended. Students: spend a week in a real science lab, apply the scientific method and in a small team of peers solve a materials science mystery. Tons of fun. Free.
