Students learn how near-Earth objects (NEOs) can threaten the planet. After identifying and categorizing NEOs through a citizen science exercise, students enter a simulation to save Earth from an incoming asteroid.
In this lesson developed by Northwestern’s Reach for the Stars program, students will explore the basics of a battery, measure the voltage of batteries, look at energy transformation and how it fits into the larger system of an electric vehicle.
Complex organizations like Lockheed Martin gather large amounts of data from various sources. While data collection has been automated, data analysis and communication still requires human capital.
As a summative assessment, students will design their own research question and implement the research. In pairs, they will present their research project in a scientific poster to faculty and community members.
In today’s increasingly digital world, we produce (and continue to produce) large amounts of data about things ranging from test scores, to social media posts that we “Like” or “Comment”, to online shopping recommendations, to how safe (or not) a new engineering design could be, to self-driving c
The purpose of this ETP is to develop an open-ended process for students to learn physics and coding in python. This process will include four steps. The first step will be to learn the physics concepts by direct instruction: given the principles, examples and exercises.
Biotechnology is the use and alteration of biological materials to make food, drugs, and other goods. Genetic engineering encompasses many different techniques for moving DNA between different organisms.
Students research and analyze a specific California water region, investigating its ecosystems, management challenges, and ongoing solutions, then present findings through verbal, visual, and written reports while highlighting the roles of public and private water stewards.
The Role of Regulatory Science in Drug Development is a case study activity that exposes students to cancer and the various steps and departments involved in cancer drug approval. It is based on the drug, acalabrutinib, which was developed by Acerta Pharma.
