Carbon Cycle and Ocean Acidification
Making a personal, achievable commitment to reduce one’s carbon output and indirectly impact ocean acidification.
Ocean Acidification: Chemical Reactions
Hands-on molecular modeling of the chemical reaction between CO2 and H2O along with tangible evidence will enhance students' understanding of chemical reactions and carbonic acid’s effects on shelled organisms.
CyberGames
Students will explore cybersecurity and the vulnerabilities equity process (VEP) to learn how the government uses information acquired for cybersecurity purposes.

Network Packet Transmission
Inspired by my work with cybersecurity company, Palo Alto Networks, this lesson centers on how data moves through networks. It touches on Newton’s discovery of the color spectrum, the capture of the German Enigma coding machine during World War II, cryptography, and modern ASCII code.

Scientist Spotlights
Meet STEM Professionals who work in cybersecurity-related fields!
Advanced Through an Electric Vehicle
Students will identify parts of an electric vehicle, determine their various functions through a webquest, and then use these EV parts to write a script for the next cartoon episode… “Field Trip through the Electric Vehicle”
All Charged Up
Students will explore how a battery works, build their own battery, and then compare and contrast technologies specific to electric vehicle batteries.
Harnessing the Wind
Students will build a wind turbine using recyclable materials (or RAFT kits) and learn about the role of a generator in transforming the kinetic energy into electrical energy.
Mini Grand Prix
Students will build a car using recyclable materials (or RAFT kits), trace the energy transformations happening in the process, and race them!
