This site from SERC's Starting Point presents sample Gallery Walk questions about the composition of the atmosphere. These questions encourage students to examine atmospheric and greenhouse gases, human influences on climate change, proposed new products to minimize UV exposure, and ways people currently protect themselves from UV exposure. The questions are organized according to the cognitive level at which students are engaged, using Bloom's Taxonomy.
Students design and build prototypes for protective eyewear. They choose different activities or sports that require protective eyewear and design a device for that particular use. Students learn about the many ways in which the eyes can be damaged and how engineers incorporate different features and materials into eyewear designs to best protect the eyes.
