Measurement uncertainty and error propagation
This set of lessons aims to teach students about error in measurement, how to quantify uncertainty, propagation of uncertainty, and using the slope of the line of best fit.
Rube Goldberg Machine - Water Filtration Analysis
Students analyze real SVCWD data to calculate water properties, flow rates, and energy use throughout the wastewater treatment process, apply dimensional analysis and engineering reasoning, and evaluate efficiency and costs through hands-on activities and group projects.
Whirling in Orbit
Traditionally, the etching of silicon wafers is a guess and check process- the manufactures guess the depth of the features for a given design, produce the wafer, and check if the process was successful. This process of nanomanufacturing is wasteful.

Educational Possibilities in Virtual Reality
Introduce colleagues to the educational opportunities presented by VR in a high school classroom. Provide teachers with hands on experience with VR tools and applications and highlight how they can support and enhance a high school classroom.
Intro to VR/180°/360° Video for Teacher Research and Self-Reflection
Video recording is a powerful tool for evaluation, reflection, and research in the classroom. Preservice teachers and Master’s candidates are often required to record themselves teaching in order to assess important things like volume, wait time, and interactions with students.
Iterative Teaching through Data-Driven Collaboration and Planning
The purpose of this Educational Transfer Plan is to structure six instructional collaboration sessions with teachers pulled out for full day professional development.

Practitioners Looking Closely.
My school spends half its professional development (PD) hours in self-selected committees. I lead a committee focused on practitioner research -- the Cycle of Inquiry Committee. This committee meets twice a month, for a total of two hours, and we have four release days during the school year.
