Part of a Cyber Safety unit for elementary school students. Target audience is 6th grade. Students will learn that online: they leave footprints, there is no anonymity, information is valuable, online actions have real consequences, and once you put something out it may never come back.
Students will create a water bottle rocket while working collaboratively in groups. The groups will be asked to collect and analyze data and then improve upon their design. After a further launch they will then present their findings and data in a classroom presentation.
The goal of this ETP is to help students develop data collection and analysis skills which is crucial in any STEM related field.
This lesson will engage students in Robotics and Engineering by allowing them to choose a complex individual or group project to work on over the course of the semester.
Too many times people feel powerless to make changes in this world. This is because they have forgotten the three most important words in our government, We the People.
NGSS uses constructivist theory and educational research to propose a teaching paradigm to promote ways of thinking, science practices, as well as science content through an inquiry process.
The goal of this ETP is to prepare students to equitably engage in mathematically rigorous group discussions. Using roles, sentence starters, and scaffolded activities, students will develop their communication skills with a focus on questioning in the context of a geometry classroom.
This lesson series asks students to use a simulation applet for electrodialytic desalination to explore the functional relationships between various engineering design parameters and output measures of practical interest.
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.
