Funded by The Healthineers Fund of the Siemens Foundation
Grades:
In this activity, students will investigate how laboratory diagnostics are used in obtaining healthcare information.
- 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 relationship between friction and motion by building a simple hovercraft.
- 9–12
Grades:
Students will work in small groups to stack Solo cups vs. Styrofoam cups to see how many of each it takes for the two stacks to be equal. Students will then derive a system of linear equations to model the scenario of the two stacks of cups.
- 9–12
Grades:
In this lesson, students will work in teams to create a structure that will withstand simulated hurricane force winds
- 9–12
Grades:
Students will examine wind power and learn to hardness it by creating a wind turbine.
- 9–12
Grades:
Students will investigate the application of 3D printing to space technology.
- 9–12
Grades:
Students will investigate the technological application of quantum effects in cyber security.
- 9–12
Grades:
Students will use geometric shapes to design a unique three-dimensional object that has an everyday use.
- 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
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 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 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:
Students will design one or more unique levels of a maze game using a free online coding program.
- 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
Grades:
After learning about the amount of paper that the United States uses every year, students will observe how homemade recycled paper is made. Upon examining the result, students will be challenged to refine this process in order to produce a paper product.
- 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.
