Carbon Sequestration: New tools for Carbon Dioxide Removal (CDR) is a lesson plan for teachers that are interested in adding some supplemental material to their climate change curriculum.
Students will identify parts of an electric vehicle, determine their various functions through a webquest, and then use these EV parts to write a script for the next cartoon episode… “Field Trip through the Electric Vehicle”
Students will explore how a battery works, build their own battery, and then compare and contrast technologies specific to electric vehicle batteries.
Students will build a wind turbine using recyclable materials (or RAFT kits) and learn about the role of a generator in transforming the kinetic energy into electrical energy.
Students will build a car using recyclable materials (or RAFT kits), trace the energy transformations happening in the process, and race them!
In this lesson, students will predict and develop understandings of common myths related to electric vehicles through an interactive slide deck. They will create a social media post dispelling one of these myths.
Students will design their own summer road trip including the electric vehicle that they will drive, the distance between charges, charging locations, and overall cost.
Students love cell phones and especially cell phone cameras. But today’s imaging technology provides incredible possibilities of observation. My fellowship at Lockheed Martin’s Optical Payload Center of Excellence provided the window to view an entirely unimagined universe of observation.
In teams of 3-4 members, Geometry Honors students will receive a problem on finding the circumcenter of a triangle and its algebraic solution. The solution involves a concept and theorem covered prior to this, but for which a graphical solution has not been covered.
