In Crazy Plant Shop, students learn about plant genetics by taking on the role of a budding (pun intended) young botanist who operates a plant shop that specializes in rare and exotic breeds of plants! "

"The NASA Lunar Plant Growth Chamber design challenge helps teachers facilitate a collaborative science project for their students to determine the feasibility of using plants as bioregenerative life support systems for long duration space missions, including on future Moon bases. Plant growth will be an important part of space exploration in the future as NASA plans for long duration missions to the Moon and beyond to Mars."

"With only one operating plant globally, Rance River (as in picture), in France. The barrage method of extracting tidal energy involves building a barrage as in the case of the Rance River. The barrage turbines generate as water flows in and out the estuary bay or river. The Rance tidal power plant and the largest such installation has been working on the Rance River since 1966 with an installed (peak) power of 240 MW, and an annual production of 600 GWh. "

"In this series of lessons, students learn about the major plant structures and explore their functions."

"Scientists in Russia have grown plants from fruit stored away in permafrost by squirrels over 30,000 years ago. The fruit was found in the banks of the Kolyma River in Siberia, a top site for people looking for mammoth bones."

"I also chose mechanical engineering because it is a very broad major. Graduating with a MechE degree opens a variety of career paths. Relevant post-grad job topics include cars, airplanes, heating and cooling systems, manufacturing plants, industrial equipment and machinery, robots, medical devices and much more. I like the idea that I was leaving my options open by being a MechE. Last, it seems to me that with the technology advancements and global problems of today, mechanical engineers will be at the forefront of these solutions. I am not positive what I want to do when I graduate, but I am interested in alternative energy, especially wind technology. I like to think I am going to solve the world's energy problems."

"Gumdrop bridges can be a fun way for young kids to learn about Engineers. You can not go an entire day without using something that a Civil Engineer has designed or had a part in. Civil Engineers disign treatment plants to clean the water you drink, they design roads, highways, and bridges."

"The order that animals feed on other plants and animals is called a food chain. Do you think you can put a food chain together? give it a try and learn why every animal within a food chain is so important."

"Weathering is the breaking down or dissolving of rocks and minerals on Earth's surface. Water, ice, acids, salt, plants, animals, and changes in temperature are all agents of weathering."

"Engineering Design Process The engineering design process involves a series of steps that lead to the development of a new product or system. In this design challenge, students are to complete each step and document their work as they develop their lunar plant growth chamber. The students should be able to do the following:"

This series of curricular units focus on themes that NASA engineers and scientists -- as well as future generations of explorers -- must consider when planning future human explorations into space. This includes such themes as Energy and Power, Transportation and Lunar Plant Growth Chambers (the STS-118 Design Challenges).

Being the second largest profession in the Ukraine, Engineering is highly popular amongst students as a career choice. The National Aerospace University Kharkiv Aviation Institute is the best Aeronautical Engineering Colleges in Ukraine.

Ukraine is one of the best countries of the world where Airplane and Helicopter designing Courses are developed and manufactures and in Ukraine there are specialists are trained for these areas.
