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:
Students will investigate, categorize and explore the multitude of IT career categories that are available through reading several IT-career cards.
- 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 use a life cycle audit to evaluate a product’s environmental impact on society by proposing design changes in order to reduce the negative impact it could have.
- 9–12
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 investigate how robots work including robotic parts and explain how energy is transferred to make different parts move.
- 9–12
Funded by The Healthineers Fund of the Siemens Foundation
Grades:
Students will explore the parts of a sound wave and learn about human reception of sound. Then, they will research and analyze the types of ultrasound before making a claim as to the most beneficial type to human health and well-being.
- 9–12
Grades:
In this activity, students will investigate how electricity and magnetism are closely related by building and testing their own electromagnets.
- 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
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:
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
Funded by The Healthineers Fund of the Siemens Foundation
Grades:
Students model how a medication is filtered from the blood using colored water. They make predictions about how much medicine remains in a person’s system over time by comparing their predictions to observed data.
- 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.
- 9–12
Grades:
Students will learn about the concept of low impact development: practices that use or copy natural processes such as absorption or evaporation to protect water quality.
- 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 explore how satellites send images from telescopes in space, which we can access on Earth via the Internet.
- 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:
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.
