All Fats Are Not Created Equal
Apply robotics to connect physical properties to chemical properties. Future engineers use robots to determine the melting points of various fats and oils. The robots can do this by measuring the translucency of the fats as they heat up.

Will The Ice Melt and Overflow?
Students observe what happens when ice in a glass of water starts to melt. In this ice lesson plan, students see that the ice does not make the water overflow, it simply occupies the space it did in frozen form.
