Give teams fifty straws and one hundred paper clips to design the tallest freestanding tower they can build within the challenge rules. Students sketch a plan, build, test a 100 g load for thirty seconds, then refine the structure and reflect on stability and teamwork. Teacher guidance, a blueprint page and a science briefing support the lesson, with extension questions connecting classroom designs to larger engineering problems.
Problem-based learning (PBL) activity where students design and run an experiment (dropping a ball onto a target) to practice the scientific method, data analysis (mean, mode, standard deviation), and evidence-based argument writing.
A project-based environmental science curriculum reading students through the science of waste (lifecycle assessment, landfill/incineration/leakage), the neuroscience of habit formation, and the zero-waste hierarchy, with embedded comprehension checks; per the title, later sections (not reached in extraction) are meant to be habit-tracking journal pages.
