This lesson is designed for the Gunn HS Principles of Engineering and robotics classes or similar (e.g. a Project Lead the Way capstone course).
Students will design a method to promote heat loss from an aluminum can full of hot water and test modifications to their design. Modelled on removing excess heat from electronic components, the lab tests different methods of removing heat and meets the NGSS engineering standards.
The goal of the Education Transfer Plan (ETP) is to safely engage students in hands-on practical engineering experiences while building parts. Targeting 11-12th grade students in the International Baccalaureate Design Technology unit on manufacturing processes.
In this lesson students develop and execute a promotional plan for a business they will develop in this course. Students will engage in one of two businesses the course will offer: either a screen-printing service or a laser cutting and etching service.
This project will engage students in Robotics and Engineering by allowing them to choose a complex individual or group project to work on over the course of the year. Students will research ideas and submit a proposal that details the process and estimated number of hours needed to complete.
This lesson is constructed to help students see the importance of physical, chemical and biological attributes in the removal of contaminants from the environment. Students will design, construct and run experiments on the filtration of a known pollutant, nitrate, from water.
There are several popular platforms for teaching and learning Statistics at the high school level. Graphing calculators such as TI-83 or Casio FX-9750 and their cousins are essential tools for taking the AP Statistics Exam.
The professional development workshop described in this lesson plan focuses on ways in which modeling in the real world differs from traditional textbook "word problems." It exposes teachers to the complexity of modeling as a mathematical, scientific, and engineering practice, and simul
Basic Idea. Take old public information about US Corporations and ask groups of students to take hypothetical control of these companies. The teacher will go through the years and provide large global or national events from specific years.
