Teachers will be introduced to the VEX V5 Robotic Platform. We will start with an Introduction to robotics and how robotics is used in industry. Students will understand the key resources they will be
Students need to learn basic internet safety, which starts with developing strong login and site passwords before doing any research on the internet. Creating and managing strong, secure passwords is
Student will be able to compare the energy content of two common fuels used for energy production (ethanol and kerosene). Students will work with a partner to investigate the efficiency and
In this lesson students will use Tinkercad to design a puzzle piece that will be used in the Escape Room from the previous lesson. This can be used as a stand alone lesson or in conjunction with the
In this lesson students will design a rough and final draft of an escape room using scale factor and ratios. Students will also create an escape plan using math at the level of the teachers choosing
This project sets students up to explore animal anatomy and physiology with the idea of replacing a lost appendage (beak, leg, tail, fin, etc.) This is used in small groups of 2 or 3 over the course
Students will discover the Empirical Formula for the synthesis of Magnesium and Oxygen through a laboratory experiment in which they will react Magnesium Ribbon with atmospheric Oxygen by super
Students will get the opportunity to engage in scientific research, studying sustainability and fuel options, while creating models to represent their knowledge.
Calculating Moles to gram of multiple different compounds to make playdough. Includes easy and advanced practice problems (with answers) and teacher background knowledge. Basic easy ingredients are
Students create a scale model representing earth's history in order to analyze how life has changed on earth over time.
Lesson explores compounds, mixtures and solutions, defining each and what distinguishes them from each other. Students complete a lab as an introduction, use a PowerPoint to refine their knowledge and
A lesson to teach students how to collect, organize, interpret data, make inferences, raise awareness, and suggest possible solutions on the water quality of the waterbodies in the state of Arizona.
Students will research and estimate the potential cost and benefit of building a very large solar energy facility is the Arizona desert. The main objective is for students to build math and modeling
This lesson allows students to visualize the vast scale and immense sizes of object in the solar system. This activity can be calibrated by the math levels of your students, so they are not left
In this lesson, students use the Kepler’s Laws PhET Simulation to collect data on the period and average radius of the planetary orbits. They graph and analyze that data to derive Kepler’s 3rd Law.
This lesson uses a PhET Simulation to allow students to collect data on the orbits of planets around our Sun, then summarize and share their results. It is designed for students in Grades 9-12.
In this lesson two of four, students have to estimate and guess how much weight each of four factors has on a person's life expectancy, which often causes discomfort. They will ask you for direction
In this first of a four-part unit, students are introduced to the question under investigation: How much life insurance should I buy to cover myself when I am 45 years old? To answer this
Students learn about the Colorado River watershed and the impact of water rights and usage. They will read about the past and present water flow data, build a model of the watershed, calculate data
In this lesson, students will extract chlorophyll from spinach leaves and make different concentrations following the dilution method. Students will learn to compare the absorbance values obtained at
This lesson is an activity to see what an angle is and how is can be used to approximate the time of day or even navigating vessels by measuring other celestial bodies. Students will use sextants to
