The new NGSS focusses on student discovery and adding engineering strategies to the science curriculum.
This project 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 year. Students will research ideas and submit a proposal that details the process and estimated number of hours needed to complete.
In order to connect physics and engineering curriculum to the real world it is important for students to understand how their learning applies to possible career opportunities.
Students learn the basics of photovoltaic cells and create a whole-class kinetic model to explain the processes behind them. Students use this information to engineer a photovoltaic cell to generate the most electricity possible using different berry juices.
This language arts lesson plan is for students to watch two videos, and then read an article about how women and minorities are currently being underrepresented in STEM fields.
This lesson is designed to drop into the Project Lead The Way (PLTW) course on product design called Introduction to Engineering Design (IED) but it is suitable for any CAD class or engineering design curriculum.
In this ETP, students will be placed into five different groups. In each group, students will be given engineer roles and they will need to collaborate in order to meet the needs of their customer base. Each group will receive a base model of a Raft.
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.
The goal of this ETP is to introduce and practice the engineering design process in a fun and high interest manner: by designing a board game which will help reinforce previously taught content.
