In this lesson, students will work in teams to design a pair of headphones specifically for children under three.
- 9–12
Funded by The Healthineers Fund of the Siemens Foundation
Grades:
Students model how a medication is filtered from the blood using colored water. They make predictions about how much medicine remains in a person’s system over time by comparing their predictions to observed data.
- 9–12
Funded by The Healthineers Fund of the Siemens Foundation
Grades:
In this activity, students will examine several foods in different categories (e.g., animal, human and plant food/soil).
- K–5
Funded by The Healthineers Fund of the Siemens Foundation
Grades:
In this activity, students will participate in a scavenger hunt with their peers to classify inherited and learned traits.
- K–5
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
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.

Grades:
In this activity, students will examine the behavior of different types of solids when they are dissolved in water and explain those behaviors by examining the properties of the solids.
- K–5
Funded by The Healthineers Fund of the Siemens Foundation
Grades:
In this activity, students will gain an understanding of the structure of the human eye and analyze and classify optical illusions.
- K–5
Grades:
In this activity, students will place foods in different environments and observe the rate at which those foods decompose.
