Funded by The Healthineers Fund of the Siemens Foundation
Grades:
Students will learn the power of bacteria and how it can be helpful in our bodies.
- 9–12
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 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.
- 9–12
Funded by The Healthineers Fund of the Siemens Foundation
Grades:
Students will investigate the prosthetic industry as they explore the design and functionality of artificial limbs.
- 9–12
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
Funded by The Healthineers Fund of the Siemens Foundation
Grades:
In this activity, students will investigate how laboratory diagnostics are used in obtaining healthcare information.
- 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 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.
- 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:
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 explore the basic components of vehicle design and learn about the conditions affecting Mars rovers. They design an improved Mars rover by defining a problem and proposing a solution in the form of improved design elements.
- 9–12
Funded by The Healthineers Fund of the Siemens Foundation
Grades:
After learning about the field of epidemiology and what the term “patient zero” means, students will participate in a whole group simulation that shows how quickly infectious diseases can be spread and work as a class to determine patient zero.
- 9–12
Grades:
Students will use geometric shapes to design a unique three-dimensional object that has an everyday use.
- 9–12
