Visualizing Lab Data with Tableau
This lesson will give students the opportunity to use the functionalities of Tableau to do visual presentation and analysis of real data that they obtain from experiments done in class.
"Communicating Feeling"; A Haptic Vector Field Experience
The CHARM lab at Stanford studies haptic devices (devices that give people tactile sensory feedback) and how these devices can be used to enhance learning. The goal of this fellowship is to create a lesson plan that enhances student learning using a particular haptic device.
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.
Calculation-based Engineering Design Applied to Truss and Frame Design
This lesson is designed for the Gunn HS Principles of Engineering and robotics classes or similar (e.g. a Project Lead the Way capstone course).

Draining and Dropping
Friction isn’t just for walking and getting scrapes on your arm. Friction is a major concern in biomedical research, too. So are falling boxes. This Education Transfer Plan introduces two practical classroom physics projects that directly relate to real-world jobs.
Terminal Velocity of a Sphere in Liquid
Quantifying the sedimentation velocity (terminal velocity) of a spherical particle in a liquid is of importance because it relates to areas in industry that process and transport suspensions of particles.
