Engineering Design Challenge: Water Filtration
|
This web seminar featured background information about filtering water, both on
Earth and aboard the International Space Station. During the seminar, teachers learned
about the principles of water filtration and discovered how to incorporate that
information into an exciting hands-on, inquiry-based challenge that requires students
to design their own water filtration device. Participants watched a video showing
students engaged in the challenge and received links to access supporting resources
online.

This web seminar is part of a series of electronic professional development experiences
sponsored by the NASA Explorer Schools (NES) project. NES is NASA's classroom-based
gateway for middle school (grades 4-8) and high school (grades 9-12) classrooms
providing authentic learning experiences inspired by NASA's unique missions. NES
provides free teaching and learning resources that promote student engagement in
science, technology, engineering, and mathematics, and opportunities for teachers
and students to participate in NASA's mission of research and discovery through
inquiry-based experiences directly related to the work of NASA scientists and engineers.
