In this lesson, students will explore how a CubeSat positions itself in space through an interactive activity. Students will participate in an activity which demonstrates the use of transmissions to and from satellite components.
Students will be able to write a grant proposal, using elements of argumentative writing such as creating a solid claim, addressing counterclaims, and using evidence.
Students will explore the connections between water access, race, and environmental justice by conducting academic research, analyzing sources, and writing a practice research paragraph that prepares them for a larger Social Justice Research Paper.
Students explore how water moves from natural sources to the faucet, learning water quality testing and filtration skills through hands-on exercises. They compare filter designs, examine their effectiveness, and discover careers in the water treatment industry.
Purifying water with household materials to explore the process and effort of removing pollutants.
Students examine the proposed Danville Creek dam as a case study in water management, climate adaptation, and community impact. They research multiple perspectives, explore alternative solutions, and consider environmental, economic, and social factors in evaluating the project.
Students explore how water is treated, stored, and conserved, using real-world scenarios to calculate volumes of aquifers and treatment storage.
Pre-Calculus introduces topics that become crucial to the continuum of topics of higher level math such as Calculus, Linear Algebra, Differential Equations, and beyond.
Students model Earth’s water resources and cycle, then design computer simulations to explore how rising carbon emissions and pollutants affect water quality and quantity.
