Search Results for lessons Tennis Anyone? September 18, 2013 Engineering Design Lesson Plans Materials and Properties 8-12, 12-14, 14-18 Download Lesson Plan Lesson focuses on sports engineering and advanced materials development. Students work in a team to devise a racquet out of everyday materials that can consistently hit a ball to a target. Students design their racquet on paper, build the racquet, and test it. All teams evaluate their results, reflect on their design, and present to the class. Fizzy Nano Challenge Engineering Design Lesson Plans Matter and Energy 8-12, 12-14, 14-18 Download Lesson Plan Lesson focuses on how materials behave differently as their surface area increases. Students learn about nanotechnology and how engineers can harness the differences in how materials behave when small to solutions for challenges in many industries. Students work in teams to explore examples of how surface area impacts functionality. They hypothesize how surface area will impact the performance of antacid tablets, conduct an experiment using whole and crushed tablets to see how they behave when introduced to water, observe what they see, extrapolate to other examples, compare their hypotheses and the results with those of other student teams, reflect on the experience, and share observations with the class. An Eye on Optics August 22, 2017 Lesson Plans Physics (light, sound, heat) 8-12, 12-14, 14-18 Download Lesson Plan The goal of this lesson is to provide students with an open-ended opportunity to explore and work with the materials, make and share observations, and build a foundational understanding of the relationship between gelatin shapes and light. Open-ended exploration encourages creativity and problem solving useful to meet the final challenge of designing a lens system to improve vision. Pendulum Time September 18, 2013 Energy Engineering Design Forces and Motion Lesson Plans Materials and Properties 8-12, 12-14, 14-18 Download Lesson Plan Lesson focuses on how pendulums have been used to measure time and how mechanical mechanism pendulum clocks operate. Students work in teams to develop a pendulum out of everyday objects that can reliably measure time and operate at two different speeds. They will determine the materials, the optimal length of swing or size of weight to adjust speed, and then develop their designs on paper. Next, they will build and test their mechanism, compare their results with other student teams, and share observations with their class. Teachers Use Minecraft to Make Distance Learning Fun May 26, 2020 News STEM teachers from Broward County Public Schools in Florida are making distance learning fun for students stuck at home during the COVID-19 pandemic. The teachers... Games, Minecraft, STEM Be A Scanning Probe Microscope September 18, 2013 Engineering Design Lesson Plans Matter and Energy 8-12, 12-14, 14-18 Download Lesson Plan Lesson focuses on how engineers have developed and use special tools that can observe the landscape of materials when they are working at the nano scale. Stop And Go Engineering Design Lesson Plans 8-12, 12-14, 14-18 Download Lesson Plan Lesson focuses on how engineers have developed and improved traffic management over time by engineering and re-engineering the traffic light. Students work in teams to design a new traffic light system to meet the needs of a potential client. They must devise a system or technical enhancement to accommodate a busy bicycle lane and roadway that intersects a hospital emergency room entrance. As a team they devise their planned improvements, draw a design of the improved traffic signal, develop a written and verbal presentation to the client, present their designs to the class, provide feedback on other team's designs, and share observations about re-engineering. Get It Write Engineering Design Lesson Plans Materials and Properties 8-12, 12-14, 14-18 Download Lesson Plan Lesson focuses on how writing instruments have been engineered over time. Students work in teams to design and build a functional "pen" out of everyday materials that can deliver washable liquid watercolor (ink) to a sheet of paper in a controlled manner. They design their pen, build and test their design, evaluate their results, and share observations with the class. Blast Off! Engineering Design Forces and Motion Lesson Plans 12-14, 14-18 Download Lesson Plan Lesson focuses on aerospace engineering and how space flight has been achieved from an engineering vantage point. Students build and launch a model rocket and consider the forces on a rocket, Newton's Laws, and other principles and challenges of actual space vehicle launch. They design their structure on paper, learn about aerospace engineering, launch their rocket, and share observations with their class. Planting with Precision Engineering Design Environment/Ecology Forces and Motion Lesson Plans Materials and Properties 8-12, 12-14, 14-18 Download Lesson Plan Lesson explores agricultural and engineering and challenges students to engineer a system out of everyday materials that can drop a seed every 15 cm over a 60 cm distance. Students learn about seed drills and planters and consider the impact these inventions have had on farming and agriculture over the years. Students build and test their planters, evaluate their designs and those of classmates, and share observations with their class.
