ThermoElectric Generator for Introductory Chemistry Course (10th Grade)
Students will understand how heat energy can flow from hot to cold while transforming from one form to another.
“Turntable Ocean”
Fluid motion plays a critical role in regulating Earth's climate, for example through the transport of heat by ocean currents and winds in the atmosphere. The Earth’s rotation strongly constrains the dynamics of these motions and thus shapes how the climate works.

Engineering a Column
Concerns about access to clean, potable water are projected to rise with the ever-drying climate and increase in global population.
"Communicating Feeling"; A Haptic Vector Field Experience
The CHARM lab at Stanford studies haptic devices (devices that give people tactile sensory feedback) and how these devices can be used to enhance learning. The goal of this fellowship is to create a lesson plan that enhances student learning using a particular haptic device.
Ramp it UP!
Ramps are everywhere! Ratios and proportions are used everywhere in the real world, and at Sequoia High School, wheelchair ramps are a clear example of the importance of ratios. Students will interact with various code.org animations, all of which are dealing with some type of ramp.

High Speed is Cool!
This ETP is designed to provide teachers with a couple sample lessons to use for incorporating high speed video cameras into their classroom. These 2 lessons will involve both the use of high speed cameras and the analysis of footage obtained from them.
Measurement uncertainty and error propagation
This set of lessons aims to teach students about error in measurement, how to quantify uncertainty, propagation of uncertainty, and using the slope of the line of best fit.
Data-driven School Change Professional Development
This project will focus on the statistical methodologies I encountered in the CDR Lab work and apply these in a professional development for teachers looking at improving Habits of Success for students in our school network.
