Grades:
In this activity, students will explore a variety of real-world applications of machine learning and use the information to consider the potential advantages and disadvantages that come along with it.
- 9–12
Grades:
Description: Students consider the benefits and tradeoffs of using credit and learn about the role interest plays in using credit cards. Then, they create an equation that describes the length of time it takes to pay off a debt.
- 9–12
Grades:
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.
- 9–12
Grades:
In this activity, students will gain an understanding of how sound waves travel through different media by building a sound transmission device.
- K–5
Grades:
Students will explore how satellites send images from telescopes in space, which we can access on Earth via the Internet.
- 9–12
Grades:
In this activity, students will compare samples of monomers and polymers in powder and thread form (sugar/cotton candy and cotton flock/cotton balls).
- 9–12
Grades:
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.
- 9–12
Grades:
Students will investigate the application of 3D printing to space technology.
- 9–12
Grades:
Students will create a case study to demonstrate how to incorporate smart city technology into an assigned city.
- 9–12
Grades:
Students will work together to evaluate the effects of collaborative efforts between doctors and robotic technology that is providing advancements in the healthcare atmosphere.
- 9–12
Grades:
In this activity, students will construct color wheels and spin them to see that light colors combine to form new colors.
- K–5
Grades:
Students will design one or more unique levels of a maze game using a free online coding program.
- 9–12
Grades:
Students will investigate the technological application of quantum effects in cyber security.
- 9–12
Grades:
Students will use geometric shapes to design a unique three-dimensional object that has an everyday use.
- 9–12
Grades:
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.
- 9–12
Grades:
Students will investigate, categorize and explore the multitude of IT career categories that are available through reading several IT-career cards.
- 9–12
Grades:
In this lesson, students will work in teams to design a pair of headphones specifically for children under three.
- 9–12
Grades:
Students work together to build an algorithm for drawing a pixel picture using coordinate directions and color assignments on graph paper. Then, students follow the algorithms of other groups to create the images on a larger scale with post-it notes.
