Students will learn how CubeSats are programmed to orient themselves in space through a hands-on activity. Students will learn the basics of coding through a team simulation.
In this lesson, students will explore how a CubeSat positions itself in space through an interactive activity. Students will participate in an activity which demonstrates the use of transmissions to and from satellite components.
Students will be able to write a grant proposal, using elements of argumentative writing such as creating a solid claim, addressing counterclaims, and using evidence.
Students will explore the connections between water access, race, and environmental justice by conducting academic research, analyzing sources, and writing a practice research paragraph that prepares them for a larger Social Justice Research Paper.
After completing our unit on rocks and soil, this lesson will show students how to identify food waste from their lunches that can be composted in the school’s compost bin.
During a unit on scale drawings, proportional relationships and similar figures, we will explore the water infrastructure of SF. Students will use what they learn about green infrastructure to solve a real problem at their school.
Having students end our Human Impact unit by creating a model of their own usage of water at home or even throughout the day/week. Students will design a solution to better conserve water themselves or their community by analyzing the date from the model they created.
Students will explore electric and magnetic fields individually before using a circuit to explore how both electric and magnetic forces can be leveraged to make more complicated pieces of technology.
Students explore how water moves from natural sources to the faucet, learning water quality testing and filtration skills through hands-on exercises. They compare filter designs, examine their effectiveness, and discover careers in the water treatment industry.
