In traditional experiments, students are providedwith detailed instructions for completing the procedure, use equipment that has already been setup, and perform tests on samples that have already been prepared. This paper describes a self-designed experiment in which students handle almost everything on their own, includingmaterial selection, sample preparation, procedure design, test setup, data collection, and resultanalysis. Prior to undertaking the self-designed experiment, students have finished severalregular experiments such as material microstructure observation, Charpy test and tensile test

As an example, the ASM MaterialsEducation Foundation (ASM) has offered week-long summer camps to introduce elementary(grade 5 and above) and high school teachers to materials science through hands-on activitiesand experiments [1, 2]. Materials science is attractive because it is a very accessible and hands-on science and can act as a unifier in typically disjointed physical science courses.

The course-long module series can bedivided into four stand-alone modules that build on each other. The first module requiredstudents to bring to class with them a week’s worth of their own trash to discuss the impact theirpersonal waste contribution has on a regional scale. This module was enhanced based on studentand instructor
