Civil Engineering
This term refers to the basic physical structures and facilities, like roads, bridges, water pipes, and power lines, that a community needs to function.
What is infrastructure?
These forces slow a parachute as it falls through the air.
What is drag or air resistance?
Levers, pulleys, and screws are examples of this category of machines that make work easier.
What are simple machines?
This is the first step in the design process where engineers decide what problem they are trying to solve.
What is identifying the problem?
This blocky sandbox game lets players mine, craft, and build anything from tiny huts to giant redstone machines in Survival or Creative mode.
What is Minecraft?
This geometric shape distributes weight evenly and is commonly used to make structures stronger.
What are triangles?
This special shape is curved on top and flatter on bottom, helping create lift.
What is an airfoil?
This is the type of force that causes rotation, different from a straight-line force.
What is torque?
These are the limitations or restrictions placed on a project to keep it within certain boundaries.
What are constraints?
This Disney+ series follows a helmeted bounty hunter in beskar armor who protects a small green child fans call “Baby Yoda.”
What is the Mandolorian?
This kind of bridge uses interconnected triangles to spread out load forces.
What is a truss bridge?
These are the four main aerodynamic forces acting on an aircraft during flight.
What are lift, weight, thrust and drag?
This property quantifies how much an object resists changes to its motion.
What is inertia?
Engineers build these early versions of a product so they can test ideas and find problems before full production.
What are prototypes?
This anime follows Eren Yeager and the Survey Corps as they battle giant humanoid creatures that broke through massive walls protecting humanity.
What is Attack on Titan?
This is the difference between a material being pulled apart and a material being squeezed together.
What is tension vs compression?
This force acts opposite to thrust as an aircraft moves through the atmosphere.
What is drag?
This scientist stated that an object at rest stays at rest and an object in motion stays in motion unless acted on by another force.
Who is Sir Issac Newton?
a system that slows everything else down.
What is a bottleneck?
This Netflix documentary series about a private zoo owner named Joe Exotic and his feud with Carole Baskin went viral early in the pandemic.
What is the Tiger King?
This property describes a material’s ability to resist pushing forces.
What is compression strength?
According to this principle, faster moving air means lower pressure, a concept important in lift and flight.
What is Bernoulli's principle?
This fundamental rule of motion states that every action has an equal and opposite reaction.
What is Newton’s Third Law of Motion?
Engineers repeat this step again and again because designs rarely work perfectly the first time.
iteration improves the design over time based on data, testing, and feedback
This adaptation became the highest-grossing movie at the U.S. box office in 2025, earning about $424 million domestically.
What is the Minecraft Movie?
