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

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

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

Modeling Constraints

  • IT
Grades:
  • 9–12
 Level: 2
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.
  • Math

Cyber Security

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

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

AI

  • IT
Grades:
  • 9–12
 Level: 2
Students will investigate and categorize types of artificial intelligence to determine a protocol for the Turing Test.
  • Engineering
  • Technology

3D Printing Robots

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

Design All Around Us

  • IT
3-D printer Tablet
Grades:
  • 9–12
 Level: 2
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).
  • Engineering

Biomes and Biomimicry

  • IT
Tablet
Grades:
  • 9–12
 Level: 2
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.
  • Science

Wind Power

  • Energy
Grades:
  • 9–12
 Level: 2
Students will examine wind power and learn to hardness it by creating a wind turbine.
  • Engineering

Hurricane Force

  • Energy
Grades:
  • 9–12
 Level: 2
In this lesson, students will work in teams to create a structure that will withstand simulated hurricane force winds
  • Engineering

Floating on Air
