How does water get into your house? How do we get rid of wastes from our sink and our toilet? How does natural gas and oil move into our communities so we can use them? Things would be very different if we did not have pipelines. Watch the first video with your Science Buddy to find out how things would be different and to find out how pipelines work.
Your mission is to make your own pipeline. Instead of metal or plastic that is used in your home, we will use paper instead. Are there any paper tubes around your house that you would use to make a pipeline? How can you make one yourself? Ask your Science Buddy to help you collect the materials and find the space to make your own paper pipeline. Click on the instructions below.
Mission Paper Pipelines
It will take time to design and build your pipeline. Remember to be patient and try again if something does not work just right. Engineers have to tinker with their designs to get things to work just right and they may change them over time to make them even better.
When you are working, make sure to complete a Mission Report. Sketch out our pipeline design and explain how it worked. Try to answer the questions on the directions sheet. Remember that you can earn Brain Power points by describing your work in the Comments below. Don't forget to put your name so I know who you are.
If you are interested in the careers that help to keep the pipelines working and the engineer the pipes, watch the video below with your Science Buddy.
