The Smart Cities lesson will introduce students to a variety of ways in which a city can use technology to collect and analyze data.
The use of transformation has been a fundamental tool in biotechnology harnessing the natural ability of bacteria to take up foreign DNA which can then express proteins used for human purposes.
Students and teachers often view laboratory investigations as exercises in following directions, which grossly misrepresents the scientific process. Experimentation involves careful and methodological application of scientific principles, in which peers critique communicated results.
This lesson is designed for the Gunn HS engineering/robotics class or similar (e.g. a Project Lead the Way capstone course). The lesson demonstrates the use of mathematical simulation in design decisions, specifically designing a launch mechanism based on mechanical springs.
In this ETP, students use Excel to develop simple equations that will enable them to estimate their carbon footprint.
The goal of this ETP is to help students develop a greater ability to form arguments from evidence found in texts by evaluating a variety of evidence claims about alternative sources of water.
Re-inventing the Nation's Urban Water Infrastructure (ReNUWIt), in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at Stanford, studies stormwater collection. In the water unit in Environmental Science, we study water resources and water pollution.
The main objective of this lesson is to enable students to practice the engineering design process and recognize different actions as part of specific steps in the design process.
The goal of this ETP is to prepare students to equitably engage in mathematically rigorous group discussions. Using roles, sentence starters, and scaffolded activities, students will develop their communication skills with a focus on questioning in the context of a geometry classroom.
