Grades:
In this activity, students will investigate how electricity and magnetism are closely related by building and testing their own electromagnets.
- 9–12
Grades:
Students will investigate the relationship between friction and motion by building a simple hovercraft.
- 9–12
Grades:
Students will investigate the application of 3D printing to space technology.
- 9–12
Grades:
In this activity, students will investigate how robots work including robotic parts and explain how energy is transferred to make different parts move.
- 9–12
Grades:
Students will construct a coin battery and measure its voltage output. They will compare their battery’s voltage to that of traditional AA/AAA batteries and consider modifications to their battery so it produces enough power to light up an LED bulb.
- 9–12
Grades:
In this activity, students will investigate factors that influence the temperature of an isolated system and relate this to average kinetic energy and thermodynamic properties.
- 9–12
Grades:
In this activity, students will work in teams and use the approach of biomimicry to build an Adaptation Station that will enhance life for humans living in a specific environment.
- 9–12
Funded by The Healthineers Fund of the Siemens Foundation
Grades:
In this activity, students will learn about the upcoming planned missions to Mars from various space companies. They will then design a product that could be used to help astronauts as their bodies face the rigors of space on the long journey to Mars.
- 9–12
Grades:
In this investigation, students will design three different circuit arrangements with a switch capable of lighting a small light bulb. They will use the results of this investigation to determine the best configuration for wiring holiday lights.
- 9–12
Grades:
In this activity, students will compare samples of monomers and polymers in powder and thread form (sugar/cotton candy and cotton flock/cotton balls).
- 9–12
Funded by The Healthineers Fund of the Siemens Foundation
Grades:
After learning about the field of epidemiology and what the term “patient zero” means, students will participate in a whole group simulation that shows how quickly infectious diseases can be spread and work as a class to determine patient zero.
- 9–12
Funded by The Healthineers Fund of the Siemens Foundation
Grades:
Students will investigate the prosthetic industry as they explore the design and functionality of artificial limbs.
- 9–12
Funded by The Healthineers Fund of the Siemens Foundation
Grades:
Students will learn what causes type I and type II diabetes and investigate what is happening in the body of a person who has diabetes, including the function of the pancreas in insulin production and how insulin allows for glucose to enter cells.
- 9–12
Funded by The Healthineers Fund of the Siemens Foundation
Grades:
Students will learn the power of bacteria and how it can be helpful in our bodies.
- 9–12
Grades:
Students will work together to evaluate the effects of collaborative efforts between doctors and robotic technology that is providing advancements in the healthcare atmosphere.
- 9–12
Grades:
Students will learn the positives and negative effects stress can have on the body. They will also learn the importance of managing their stress levels and practical tips for overall balance, health and wellbeing.
- 9–12
Grades:
Help students learn that radiation exists all around people both in natural and manmade ways in this activity. Students will use digital and/or print resources to learn about ionizing and non-ionizing radiation along with the benefits/risks associated.
- 9–12
