Park It!
The difference between an architect and an engineer is sometimes confusing because their roles in building design can be similar. Students experience a bit of both professions by following a set of requirements and meeting given constraints as they create a model parking garage. They experience the engineering design process first-hand as they design, build and test their models. They draw a blueprint for their design, select the construction materials and budget their expenditures. They also te

What's the Big Idea? Genetics
This fun Web site is part of OLogy, where kids can collect virtual trading cards and create projects with them. Here, they examine "the gene scene." The online slide show covers these topics: Genetics is where it all begins. Every living thing has DNA. Genes are made of DNA. We gather clues about life by studying genes . A genome is all the DNA in a cell, including all the genes. Why isn't the study of genes called genealogy?
Making Rocks
This fun Web article is part of OLogy, where kids can collect virtual trading cards and create projects with them. Here, they learn about volcanoes. The article begins by introducing students to Jim Webster, an Earth scientist at the Museum who studies volcanoes and has re-created the conditions for a magma chamber in his lab. In Visit Jim's Lab, students see firsthand how he studies volcanoes, both in the field and in the lab.
7 Conclusions
This unit will look at how public engagement in science and technology might be achieved through science promotion. Science promotion and public involvement in policy making can require both formal and informal objectives: some are explicit and some are implicit, some are articulated at the planning stage and some are unexpected. These objectives can entail participation, engagement, knowledge exchange and learning – all of which require a degree of motivation by all parties.
