Science of Fire Fighting
Alabama Fire College
Join Mitch at the Alabama Fire College to learn how Science, Math and Chemistry is used by fire fighters.
Objective SCI.7.7.3: Identify causes and effects of fire on an ecosystem.
Nuclear Power
Sequoyah Nuclear Plant
How many workers does it take to run a nuclear power plant? Join Aubrey today to learn about the processes of nuclear power and how it is managed from a control room.
6.PS3: Energy ESS.ESS1: Earth’s Place in the Universe Communicate scientific ideas to explain the nuclear fusion process and how elements with an atomic number greater than helium have been formed in stars, supernova explosions, or exposure to cosmic rays.
3D Printing
Oakridge National Laboratory
Today we learn about design and processes of 3D printing and how it benefits manufacturing today.
“8.ETS1: Engineering Design
1) Develop a model to generate data for ongoing testing and modification of an electromagnet, a generator, and a motor such that an optimal design can be achieved.”

Energy Transfer
NC State University
Batteries and more batteries! Everything needs energy to work, but how does energy from a battery convert into a working mechanism? Join us today for more energetic engineering at NC State University.
“6.P.3 Understand characteristics of energy transfer and interactions of matter and energy.
6.P.3.3 Explain the suitability of materials for use in technological design based on a response to heat (to include conduction, expansion, and contraction) and electrical energy (conductors and insulators). Understand forms of energy, energy transfer and transformation and conservation in mechanical systems.
7.P.2.1 Explain how kinetic and potential energy contribute to the mechanical energy of an object.
