Bring STEM Careers to Life with HVAC Science! The Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning (HVAC) Jobs collection on PBS LearningMedia, provided by WQED, introduces students to the science and technology behind climate control systems. Through engaging videos and real-world career spotlights, this resource explores how HVAC professionals use physics, engineering, and problem-solving to create comfortable and efficient living spaces. Ideal for middle and high school classrooms, these materials help students connect STEM concepts to hands-on, high-demand careers in the skilled trades.
In the Classroom
Students could create a simple DIY air conditioner using a small fan, ice, and a plastic container. They can test how well it cools a small space and discuss the principles of heat transfer. Students could also test different materials (such as foam, fabric, aluminum foil, and others) to see which one insulates heat best. Have students predict and record temperature changes over time using thermometers. Students can work in teams to design a model building with an energy-efficient heating and cooling system. They can consider insulation, ventilation, and renewable energy sources. Make the design digitally with an online tool like Delightex (formerly CoSpaces) reviewed here. Invite a local HVAC technician or engineer to speak to the class (virtually or in person). Students could prepare questions about career paths, daily tasks, and industry challenges and write a reflection on what they learned about HVAC careers.Add your comments below (available only to members) | Become a Member
