Linear relationships and functions are modeled using scatter plots and linear regression (line of best fit) in order to determine a function that best describes the data.
This ETP will address teaching cyber safety to staff and high school students.
This laboratory exercise encourages students to perform data collection, and learn how to use formulas at the same time. Students will design a cantilever object using tongue depressors. The tongue depressor will be a substitute for a physical 2x4 beam.
The Gratta group is working on building a detector for neutrino interactions in liquid xenon. This phase of the project involves designing, building and testing a prototype detector as a proof-of-concept.
Students will work in teams to design solar powered vehicles that use common products. Examples of common products the students use for their solar vehicle include wheel assemblies and/or chassis. The purpose of the vehicle is to investigate collisions.
This exercise encourages students to develop hypotheses, conduct an experiment partially of their own design, and develop methods for data collection and data analysis.
A Solar Array is the main component of a PV system that requires a precise design, and is constructed based on the needs of a PV system. The energy needed to operate, charge or maintain a system is determined by the operational requirements and capacity of the system and Solar Array.
Quantifying the sedimentation velocity (terminal velocity) of a spherical particle in a liquid is of importance because it relates to areas in industry that process and transport suspensions of particles.
Throwing an object across the classroom is an example of a parabolic trajectory. Students will be able to experiment with a tennis ball, with paper and later on, with a constructed mini-rocket.
