In this interactive STEM challenge, students will work in teams to design and build their own water filtration systems using simple materials while exploring the real-world concepts of microfiltration, reverse osmosis, and ultraviolet light.
Students will explore various sources of water in Southern California through interactive activities such as map labeling and group discussions. This helps students to understand where their water comes from and why conserving water matters
This ETP adapts Amazon’s PRFAQ product development process to classroom learning, helping students start with a clear vision of their project, identify challenges, and plan solutions.
During this interactive lesson, students will explore different water saving strategies through group activities, hands-on activities, and presentation.
Students will explore the differences between bottled water and tap water, focusing on cost, quality, and environmental impact. Through interactive activities and mathematical calculations, they will learn why tap water is a better choice both economically and environmentally.
Students will investigate robotics and satellites with a hands-on activity: navigating through a maze as a satellite while using commands from a robot.
Students will explore the geology of San Francisco and learn about the different soil types throughout San Francisco. They will use their knowledge of the different soil types to build earthquake safe buildings for each of them.
During a unit on scale drawings, proportional relationships and similar figures, we will explore the water infrastructure of SF. Students will use what they learn about green infrastructure to solve a real problem at their school.
Having students end our Human Impact unit by creating a model of their own usage of water at home or even throughout the day/week. Students will design a solution to better conserve water themselves or their community by analyzing the date from the model they created.
