Analytical Tools in Chemistry
The goal of this ETP is to introduce analytical techniques used in actual lab work to the students. It introduces the use Beer’s Law as a way to link absorbance of light to concentration.
Human Computer Interaction with Arduino
Students will work in small teams to research a common type of sensor and how to use an Arduino microcontroller to read its values, creating a video and written tutorial summarizing the key concepts and practical steps required to use their sensor.
Modeling Mathematics using PowerPoint
The goal of this ETP is for students to model a mathematical concept learned during the semester. Each student will create an animated PowerPoint presentation, with a partner, in which they apply a self-selected concept or formula to a real life situation.

Calculation-based Engineering Design Applied to a Spring-Powered Mechanism
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.
Comparing Design Concept
This lesson is designed to drop into the Project Lead The Way (PLTW) course on product design called Introduction to Engineering Design (IED) but it is suitable for any CAD class or engineering design curriculum.
Navigating Life In A Connected World - The Internet of (every day) Things
This lesson introduces students to the burgeoning Internet of Things. Students will develop schema by first reviewing the history of the internet from conception to current day and by playing a game called the IoE Cauldron.

Using Micropipettes
Students will learn how to use micropipettes in preparation for conducting gel electrophoresis and other molecular biology procedures. This importance of this skill was emphasized within the context of my work at JBEI, during which accurate measurement was critical in producing meaningful data.
