PHYSICAL SCIENCE, STEM CAREERS In this video, learn from chemical engineers Laura and Wade about what it takes to become a chemical engineer and why it's a great career. Find out how chemical engineers do things like save the environment, take waste and make it useful, and solve real-world problems every day.
ABOUT THE SCIENCE What do disposable diapers, soda, hydrogen fuel cells, aluminum, penicillin and snowboards have in common? They were all invented or further processed by a chemical engineer! Are you someone who likes to solve problems? Do you like making something new? Do you care about the environment? If so, being a chemical engineer might just be for you! As an engineer in this field, you get to apply chemistry to the industrial process to make things. It takes technology, innovation, and ideas to help generate an end result. An example of this is through making textiles out of weeds! As a chemical engineer, first you would put the weeds through a processing system, have them pulped, put through an extruder to create a fiber, and then voila! You can use that to create textiles. To ensure chemical engineers are being friendly to the environment, their decision making always considers renewable resources.

Science Background: Encourage students to be creative in their problem-solving strategies, within the scope of the rules. Students will discover that any strategy that increases the amount of heat or increases the surface area of the ice will result in a faster melt. You might ask students how they would change their strategies if the ice cube were doubled in size, if they were melting a large block of ice, or if they were melting an equal mass of ice chips. Materials: one ice cube for each student Directions: Melt an ice cube as fast as you can, using the following three rules: 1. You cannot put the ice cube in your mouth 2. You must collect as much of the melted water as possible (decide how you will collect the water) 3. You can only use what is at your desk right now

This lesson introduces students to the idea of biomimicry or looking to nature for engineering ideas. Biomimicry involves solving human problems by mimicking natural solutions, and it works well because the solutions exist naturally. There are numerous examples of useful applications of biomimicry, and in this lesson we look at a few fun examples.

This week, Stan Muller teaches you the basics of copyright in the United States. Copyright law is territorial, so we're going to cover the system we know the most about, and that's the US. Stan will talk about what kind of ideas can be copyrighted, who can get a copyright, and what protections the copyright grants. We'll also talk about the always contentious and seemingly ever-growing term of copyright. Stan will also teach you about the low bar for creativity, which means that original work doesn't have to be all that original, and he'll also touch on the problems with copyright in the modern world.
