Spray in Your Car

You probably have seen people stopping by a gas station to fill their gas tank. You might have wondered how the gasoline helps a car run. The gas that is added to a car is sprayed into the engine, and the engine turns the gas into energy to move the car. A good spray gives you an efficient engine by spraying fuel uniformly in the engine, which reduces the amount of fuel waste and protect our environment.

Spray in Your Car TEK8 Student Handout

The student handout will be given to all students working on the design challenge. It gives a brief recap of the story, it helps the students identify what they are attempting to achieve, and it recaps the design process.

Spray in Your Car Facilitator’s Guide

This Facilitator’s Guide provides the instructor additional information on how to run the design challenge with alternatives for materials and test setups as well as information to help make the design challenge a good educational experience.

Telling the Story Video

The Telling the Story Video conveys the societal impact of the student’s research that is the basis for the design challenge and will set the problem-solving context for students.

Design Challenge Video

The Design Challenge Video leads students through the design process. It indicates materials available, states what the criteria are for success and any constraints. It also gives a second ‘level’ of the design challenge that allows ‘early completers’ to move on to a slightly more difficult challenge.
