This resource is a video abstract of a research paper created by Research Square on behalf of its authors. It provides a synopsis that's easy to understand, and can be used to introduce the topics it covers to students, researchers, and the general public. The video's transcript is also provided in full, with a portion provided below for preview:
"The epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT), where cells become less polarized and take on stem-cell-like properties, is critical to the metastasis of many types of cancer. One protein family with a major role in this process is the Frizzled (FZD) family. FZD proteins are G-protein-coupled receptors that function as receptors for Wnt ligands. But while FZD2, FZD4, FZD7, FZD8, and FZD10 have been demonstrated to mediate cancer cell EMT, a new study shows that FZD5 may play a different role. Using in silico analysis of cancer gene databases, researchers found that FZD5 can prevent EMT in gastric cancer. Experiments with human gastric cancer cell lines showed that FZD5 maintains an epithelial-like phenotype and is negatively regulated by the transcription factors SNAI2 and TEAD1. Downstream of FZD5 was the epithelial-specific factor ELF3, which was linked via protein kinase C. FZD5 signaling required its co-receptor, LRP5, and Wnt7b acted as a putative ligand for FZD5..."

Based on what they have already learned about friction, students formulate hypotheses concerning the effects of weight and contact area on the amount of friction between two surfaces. In the Associated Activities (Does Weight Matter? and Does Area Matter?), students design and conduct simple experiments to test their hypotheses, using procedures similar to those used in the previous lesson (Discovering Friction). An analysis of their data will reveal the importance of weight to normal friction (the friction that occurs as a result of surface roughness) and the importance of surface area to the friction that occurs between smooth surfaces due to molecular attraction. Based on their data, students will also be able to calculate coefficients of friction for the materials tested, and compare these to published values for various materials.

Students drop water from different heights to demonstrate the conversion of water's potential energy to kinetic energy. They see how varying the height from which water is dropped affects the splash size. They follow good experiment protocol, take measurements, calculate averages and graph results. In seeing how falling water can be used to do work, they also learn how this energy transformation figures into the engineering design and construction of hydroelectric power plants, dams and reservoirs.

Children in kindergarten through fifth grade and their families are invited to learn more about the field of engineering in this hour-long special program. Family Night: Engineering introduces children to cool careers within the field of engineering that range from building roller coasters to designing artificial heart pumps for children who need them. Children will also get a chance to participate in hands-on engineering activities during the program!
The best part? Everything they need to participate can be found right in your home.

Students use the engineering design process to solve a real-world problem shoe engineering! Working in small teams, they design, build and test a pair of wearable platform or high-heeled shoes, taking into consideration the stress and strain forces that it will encounter from the shoe wearer. They conclude the activity with a "walk-off" to test the shoe designs and discuss the design process.
