generators, melting plastics, using electrical appliances,or “playing” detective in a crime scene accident, applying scientific topics to concrete technology andactivities solidifies the concepts in students’ minds. Students can strengthen their knowledge of thescientific concepts and the relevance to their lives by being introduced to engineering concepts at an earlyage, especially through hands-on activities9,10.Several students have expressed in class that they would be more interested in pursuing a career inscience after their 8th grade experience because they can see how applicable science class can be on adaily basis. Most were not aware of how prevalent scientific technology is around them and theopportunities for careers in science. Often
