Document Design. 1. Have students create a newsletter using the Design a Newsletter interactive activity. Suggest that they follow the Design Guidelines provided with the activity. When complete, have them print it and get feedback on their design from friends, parents, and so on. They may want to revise the newsletter before they turn it in for credit. 2. As a follow-up activity, have students create a newsletter using word processing or desktop publishing software. Suggest that they use the Design Guidelines.

The Manufacturing Process. 1. Have students complete the Test Your Knowledge interactive game after they explore the manufacturing process. In the game, they will identify six stages in the manufacturing process. 2. Have students complete the Take a Factory Tour section of Manufacturing Process: Overview. Have them prepare a report or presentation that shows the manufacturing stages shown in the tour. If some of the six stages are not shown in the tour, have them describe the types of things the company might do in those stages.

Parts of a Building. 1. Have students complete the Test Your Knowledge interactive game after they explore the parts of a building. In the game, they will identify parts of the foundation and the structure. 2. As a follow-up activity, ask students to see how many of the parts they can identify in their homes or other buildings they have permission to explore. Have them report to the class which parts they were able to identify. Some parts will not be visible, but students may be able to see some of them. For example, they may be able to go into a basement and see foundation walls and floor joists.

Rockets. 1. Have students complete the Test Your Knowledge interactive game after they explore the two types of rockets. They have three tries to complete the answers correctly; then the correct answers are filled in for them. Encourage them to keep trying for the correct answers on their own. When that happens, they will see a space shuttle launched into space. 2. Have students explore space travel by completing the Glencoe WebQuest about Missions to Mars. 3. Other Glencoe WebQuests related to transportation technology are Alternative Fuels and HEVs. 4. Go to this site for information about model rockets: Scale Rockets.

Energy Sources. 1. Have students complete the Test Your Knowledge interactive game after they have explored the seven energy sources. 2. Students can learn more about energy sources by completing the Glencoe WebQuest about Alternative Fuels.

Wastewater Treatment. 1. Have students complete the Systems Challenge interactive game. They will be asked to identify parts of a system involved in wastewater treatment. They may need to look at the clues in the How to Play instructions to answer the questions. The time they spend exploring the treatment system will also help them. 2. For another activity related to biotechnology, see the Glencoe WebQuest Human Cloning. 3. Visit the High School Environmental Center provided by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). The section on Waste and Recycling and the section on Water provide more information related to this activity.
