Data Analysis with Lego Mindstorm
The goal of this ETP is to help students develop data collection and analysis skills which is crucial in any STEM related field.
Let's Go Rafting
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.
Manufacturing Work Instructions for a Symbol Project
The goal of this ETP is to expose students to the industry procedures and standards of Manufacturing Work Instructions (MWI) while creating and constructing a wooden Symbol Project.
Navigating Life In A Connected World - The Internet of (every day) Things
This lesson introduces students to the burgeoning Internet of Things. Students will develop schema by first reviewing the history of the internet from conception to current day and by playing a game called the IoE Cauldron.

Using Micropipettes
Students will learn how to use micropipettes in preparation for conducting gel electrophoresis and other molecular biology procedures. This importance of this skill was emphasized within the context of my work at JBEI, during which accurate measurement was critical in producing meaningful data.
Functions Working Together
This lesson supports students’ understanding of functions, algebraic manipulation with variables and constants, and collaboration through computer programming.

Laboratory Notebooks in High School Chemistry as a Tool for Students to Understand and Collaborate
Students and teachers often view laboratory investigations as exercises in following directions, which grossly misrepresents the scientific process. Experimentation involves careful and methodological application of scientific principles, in which peers critique communicated results.
Measuring Your Impact: Calculating individual carbon footprints
In this ETP, students use Excel to develop simple equations that will enable them to estimate their carbon footprint.
