How can human-caused changes to the environment impact human health? This ETP was inspired by the research from Susanne Sokolow and Giulio De Leo along with other members of the De Leo Lab.
The contamination of water and soil by heavy metals poses a serious environmental problem with severe consequences for health.
Fractionation is an important part in refining petroleum into gasoline or any other petroleum based product. Oil refineries separate petroleum based on their densities. There is both light oil and heavy oil processing units in a refinery.
Working with Device Quality at Amazon Lab126 for the second summer, my Education Transfer Plan (ETP) is to create more depth and complexity to the engineering design projects I developed in my first ETP for my English Language Arts (ELA) courses at AdVenture STEM last summer (2018).
This engineering design challenge will allow students to build their own structurally stable pocket microscope using basic materials that include glass beads, plastic straws, index cards, tape, binder clips, paper clips, and a light source (eventually integrate their cell phone cameras in a new c
“To flow, or not to flow...that is the question?!” The world as we know it is more complex than just solids, liquids and gases. Consider liquids and ask yourself the question...
The goal of this ETP is to expose students to the Biomimicry process of using innovation from nature to solve problems. We will be using AskNature.org to identify a design principal (function in AskNature.org), which will be applied in the construction of a tower.
Students explore the properties of mixtures and their environmental impact by designing and testing mini wastewater treatment plants, analyzing how effectively their models separate contaminants, and reflecting on implications for water quality and ecosystem health.
This is a two-day math lesson where students will play the role of Cisco’s CFO and decide whether building a new campus makes financial sense for the company.
