"Just Google It"
Students will learn how to research and identify reliable internet resources. To show their skills, the students will create a culminating project about a California region. They will collaborate in an assigned group to find information using focused questions.

Bioengineering Design Challenge: Clearing a blocked artery
Following the steps of the design thinking process and acting as bioengineers, students will use everyday materials to design and develop devices and/or approaches to unclog model blood vessels.
Collecting and Examining Particles in the Atmosphere
True collaboration is difficult to achieve. We all have different ideas about achieving an objective. Often we are reticent in abandoning our ideas in favor of someone else’s. A collaborative approach can help to move a project forward.

Catalytic Oxidation of Acetone by Copper
The Bent Lab in Stanford’s Chemical Engineering Department focuses on studying the selective deposition of thin films in atomic layer deposition (ALD). These films are important for diffusion barriers, in integrated circuits. ALD is a subclass of chemical vapour deposition.
Using Electroplating to Study Properties of Metals
Students will compare the strengths of oxidizing and reducing agents, and determine resistance to different etching solutions. Students will work in small groups, developing laboratory skills while conducting a lab on electroplating.
