Experts help guide student science lab in Tempe

It was rainy and cold outside as water splashed and tumbled inside a Tempe classroom Tuesday, thanks to a new science lab created by Valley engineers for Valley schoolchildren.

About 60 sixth-graders from Anderson Elementary School in Chandler were challenged to build water wheels that could produce enough power to hoist a bucket carrying small metal weights. In the middle of the test phase, instructors emerged with mops and a wet vacuum as students put their creations to work.

Puddles were an inevitable part of the process.

“We have to make ours more stable … here in the middle,” said Amy Lam, 11, who saw her wheel shake and wobble with just a little bit of water pressure.

This fall, volunteer engineers launched the Arizona Science Lab in Tempe. The lab is run by members in the Phoenix section of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers’ Teacher In-Service Program, which aims to increase the number of engineering students.
