Bernoulli's principle relates the pressure of a fluid to its elevation and its speed. Bernoulli's equation can be used to approximate these parameters in water, air or any fluid that has very low viscosity. Students learn about the relationships between the components of the Bernoulli equation through real-life engineering examples and practice problems.

Students examine the structure and function of the human eye, learning some amazing features about our eyes, which provide us with sight and an understanding of our surroundings. Students also learn about some common eye problems and the biomedical devices and medical procedures that resolve or help to lessen the effects of these vision deficiencies, including vision correction surgery.

Rockets need a lot of thrust to get into space. In this lesson, students learn how rocket thrust is generated with propellant. The two types of propellants are discussed and relation to their use on rockets is investigated. Students learn why engineers need to know the different properties of propellants.

Students are introduced to the circulatory system, the heart, and blood flow in the human body. Through guided pre-reading, during-reading and post-reading activities, students learn about the circulatory system's parts, functions and disorders, as well as engineering medical solutions. By cultivating literacy practices as presented in this lesson, students can improve their scientific and technological literacy.

Students should have discovered in their reading from Activity 1 the term "logarithm." It is at this point that students will begin their study of logarithms. Specifically, they will be examining the definition, history, and relationship to exponents. (Specifically, they will be rewriting exponents as logarithms and vice versa, evaluating expressions, solving for a missing piece.) Students will continue their examination of logarithms by studying the properties of logarithms (Multiplication/Addition, Division/Subtracting, Exponents). Students will complete a set of practice problems from the textbook or a worksheet ion which they will practice and apply the skills they have learned (rewriting logarithms and exponents, evaluating expressions, solving/examining equations for a missing variable.) Students will complete a short quiz over what they have studied thus far concerning logarithms. These problems will be similar to the homework problems the students have completed.
