Grade Level: High School
SEP: Mathematics and Computational Thinking
In this activity, students will use computational thinking to write a code sequence for a drone to survey an arctic map. This activity is based on the work done by Northrop Grumman in Operation Polar Eye.
Grade Level: Middle School
DCI: Forces and Motion
Students design solutions to help reduce the risk of concussions. The investigation allows students to understand the mechanisms of collisions and how materials can reduce impact force.
Grade Level: Middle School
DCI: From Molecules to Organisms: Structures and Processes
Students explore the relationship between radon levels and cancer formation. In this investigation, students will use an ELISA (enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay) to determine the specific type of lung cancer patients have.
Grade Level: Middle School
DCI: Matter and Its Interactions
Students investigate chemical and physical changes while looking for common evidence for both.
Grade Level: High School
DCI: From Molecules to Organisms: Structures and Processes
Students will learn about plasmids and how they can be used to introduce new genetic material to bacteria. The investigation follows the transformation of bacteria with the pGLO plasmid.
