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: 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.
Grade Level: High School
DCI: Biological Evolution: Unity and Diversity
In this activity, students will learn about antibodies and antigens as they pertain to the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Students will use an ELISA to diagnose a patient with malaria.
Grade Level: High School
DCI: Forces and Motion
Students learn about momentum and impact forces. The activity challenges students to understand what happens inside the skull during a concussion event and to investigate how materials can reduce impact forces.
Grade Level: High School
DCI: Matter and Its Interactions
Students explore pH and pH indicators with at-home materials. In this activity, students learn how titration is used in the production of biodiesel fuel and are challenged to conduct their own titration to determine the concentration of acetic acid in vinegar.
