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
Grades:
In this activity, teachers will create a mysterious topography using small boxes inside a copy paper box.
- K–5
Grades:
In this activity, students explore how sound waves travel through various materials.
- K–5
Grades:
Students will explore how satellites send images from telescopes in space, which we can access on Earth via the Internet.
- 9–12
Grades:
Students will work in small groups to investigate constraints of starting a business. Each group will be assigned a specific constraint. Small groups will then write a linear inequality and graph the inequality on a group capture sheet.
- 9–12
Grades:
In this lesson, students will work in teams to design a pair of headphones specifically for children under three.
- 9–12
Grades:
In this activity, students will gain an understanding of how sound waves travel through different media by building a sound transmission device.
- K–5
Grades:
Working in groups, students will select a city and then use U.S. government census data to develop an algebraic relationship between time and population size.
- 9–12
Grades:
In this activity, students work in teams to develop a method for creating a mathematical model of the path of a ball. The teams measure the height from which a ball is thrown, and the time taken for the ball to reach the ground.
- 9–12
Grades:
Students will use geometric shapes to design a unique three-dimensional object that has an everyday use.
- 9–12
Grades:
Students will “mash up” an assigned product with one design influence from nature and present the product design to their peers using a free CAD software (such as Google Sketch).
- 9–12
Grades:
Students will investigate the technological application of quantum effects in cyber security.
- 9–12
Grades:
Students will design one or more unique levels of a maze game using a free online coding program.
- 9–12
Grades:
In this activity, students will construct color wheels and spin them to see that light colors combine to form new colors.
- K–5
Grades:
Students will create a case study to demonstrate how to incorporate smart city technology into an assigned city.
- 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
Grades:
Students will investigate and categorize types of artificial intelligence to determine a protocol for the Turing Test.
- 9–12
Grades:
Students will investigate the application of 3D printing to space technology.
