How Does Your City Grow

  • IT
Grades:
  • 9–12
 Level: 4
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.
  • Math

Light the Bulb

  • Energy
Tablet
Grades:
  • 9–12
 Level: 4
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.
  • Science

Satellite Telemetry

  • IT
Camera Tablet
Grades:
  • 9–12
 Level: 4
Students will explore how satellites send images from telescopes in space, which we can access on Earth via the Internet.
  • Technology

Synthetic Properties

  • IT
  • Manufacturing
Tablet
Grades:
  • 9–12
 Level: 4
In this activity, students will compare samples of monomers and polymers in powder and thread form (sugar/cotton candy and cotton flock/cotton balls).
  • Science

Stacking Cups

  • IT
Grades:
  • 9–12
 Level: 3
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.
  • Math

3D Printing Robots

  • IT
Grades:
  • 9–12
 Level: 3
Students will investigate the application of 3D printing to space technology.
  • Math
  • Science

City Life

  • IT
Grades:
  • 9–12
 Level: 3
Students will create a case study to demonstrate how to incorporate smart city technology into an assigned city.
  • Technology

Coin Batteries

  • Energy
Grades:
  • 9–12
 Level: 3
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.
  • Science

Crack the Code

  • IT
Sphero Robot
Grades:
  • 9–12
 Level: 3
Students will design one or more unique levels of a maze game using a free online coding program.
  • Technology

Cyber Security

Grades:
  • 9–12
 Level: 3
Students will investigate the technological application of quantum effects in cyber security.
  • Engineering
  • Technology

Explore 3D Design

  • IT
3-D printer
Grades:
  • 9–12
 Level: 3
Students will use geometric shapes to design a unique three-dimensional object that has an everyday use.
  • Technology

Game Set Match

  • Energy
Tablet
Grades:
  • 9–12
 Level: 3
In this activity, students will investigate how robots work including robotic parts and explain how energy is transferred to make different parts move.
  • Science

How a Ball Falls

  • IT
Grades:
  • 9–12
 Level: 3
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.
  • Technology

How Low Can You Go?

  • Energy
Grades:
  • 9–12
 Level: 3
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.
  • Science

Market Research and Design

  • IT
  • Manufacturing
Tablet VR headset
Grades:
  • 9–12
 Level: 3
In this lesson, students will work in teams to design a pair of headphones specifically for children under three.
  • Engineering
