Often in the science classroom, I have students create and give a presentation that highlights what they learned about a topic.
Chemistry happens in the world around us, not just in a lab. Every time we cook or clean, it's chemistry in action. Chemists actually spend a great deal of time writing and reading science literature in order to communicate their results and ideas to one another.
In this student project, students are given a research experience designed to closely mimic those in academia or industry. Their research task is to use smartphone sensors to develop the core algorithm for an accurate, reliable pedometer app which counts a user’s steps.
Students will develop their own algorithms for sorting and determine the complexity of the algorithm and how it scales as the number of items to sort increases.
This ETP teaches you how to establish a student-run Tech Squad to address common technology-related issues across campus. Students will be trained in how to identify and fix low-level problems in a respectful, helpful way.
The goal of this ETP is to introduce and practice the engineering design process in a fun and high interest manner: by designing a balloon “rocket” that uses a straw and various types of string to travel a distance in the fastest possible time.
This lesson is designed for the Gunn HS Principles of Engineering and robotics classes or similar (e.g. a Project Lead the Way capstone course).
In this lesson students develop and execute a promotional plan for a business they will develop in this course. Students will engage in one of two businesses the course will offer: either a screen-printing service or a laser cutting and etching service.
Engineers have historically been required to solve highly complex and technical real life problems. In today’s global village, engineers are required to design for a global set of users.
