Grades:
Students will investigate the relationship between quadratic functions and the parabolic path traveled by a ball in motion. Students will analyze data to understand the mathematical relationships that exist along the path of a ball in flight.
- 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 simulate a safe bungee jump using rubber bands and a small doll or action figure. Through experimentation, students will generate a linear equation to represent the relationship between the number of rubber bands and the distance the doll
- 9–12
Funded by The Healthineers Fund of the Siemens Foundation
Grades:
In this activity, students create an acid-based indicator using red cabbage extract.
- 6–8
Grades:
In this activity, students will explore a variety of real-world applications of machine learning and use the information to consider the potential advantages and disadvantages that come along with it.
- 9–12
Grades:
Description: Students consider the benefits and tradeoffs of using credit and learn about the role interest plays in using credit cards. Then, they create an equation that describes the length of time it takes to pay off a debt.
- 9–12
Grades:
In this activity, students build simple circuits to investigate the conductivity of solutions.
- K–5
Funded by The Healthineers Fund of the Siemens Foundation
Grades:
In this activity, students will explore the five senses by performing a variety of activities.
- K–5
Grades:
In this activity, students will build a simple solar cooker, make observations and qualitatively describe the melting rate of a piece of chocolate in the cooker.
- K–5
Grades:
In this activity, students will gain an understanding of how a simple hovercraft uses the forces of motion to move.
- K–5
Funded by The Healthineers Fund of the Siemens Foundation
Grades:
In this activity, students will construct a model ear to learn how different materials transmit sound.
- 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 will make their own weather station.
- 6–8
Grades:
In this activity, students will create their own insulating "ice chambers" and then test them against the models made by their classmates.
- K–5
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:
In this activity, students will excavate a box containing several layers of sediment.
- K–5
Grades:
In this activity, students will create a simple electromagnet using a nail, a battery, and copper wire.
- K–5
Grades:
In this activity, students use a stream table to model the processes of erosion and streambed formation.
- K–5
