Students will use the Escape Room to learn about the Engineering Design Process that they will be using in multiple projects throughout the year.
Material Type: Activity/Lab
Students will read text (short story, poem, chapters of a book) and create a comic strip summarizing what they have read. Students will record themselves reading pieces of the summary for each box of the comic strip and create QR codes for each box.
Material Type: Activity/Lab
Students will write their own poems and publish them using Book Creator. Students will first choose a book about a topic they have studied in other classes (math, science, social studies, encore) and use this book to gather key events and ideas to write their poem.
Material Type: Activity/Lab
This is a culminating activity to be used after completion of a Thermochemistry unit, or later in the curriculum as review or evidence of concept retention. Students will create and label a heating curve, and explain what is happening on a molecular level using Livescribe Echo pens.
Material Type: Activity/Lab
Students will demonstrate knowledge of visible light interactions with different materials and through different mediums (air, solids, and water). Students will use Sphero Bolt to create a flashlight. The goal is to create the brightest light from the LED lights on the Sphero BOLT. Students will need to understand how light interacts with different substances to successfully create the brightest flashlight. They will also test their lights in water to see how waves change direction and speed in different mediums. The Light intensity will be measured using the function in google science journal.
Material Type: Activity/Lab
This is an introductory project-based lesson. It is assumed that background knowledge of vocabulary, procedural steps, and concept have been previously instructed. In this project, students will create a square-based pyramid net that would represent their actual tent. Then, they will need to figure out how much fabric that they will need in order to cover their tent. Extensions are built into this activity that would allow the students to practice / explore skills with decimals, percents, and ratios.
Material Type: Activity/Lab
Students will create online Trivia games as a review of GCF, LCM, Distributive Property and Prime Factorization
Material Type: Activity/Lab
In this project, students will create videos that describe what surface area is, what algorithmic steps are needed to find surface area, and finally, they will show how to find the surface area of a polyhedron. Note: This lesson assumes that students have had previous lessons on surface area. This lesson is meant to be sort of a summative assessment tool in which students show their conceptual and procedural fluency of surface area.
Material Type: Activity/Lab
After reviewing types of angles and how to measure angles using a protractor, students will see how many triangles they can construct using an 18-foot beam. Through this activity, students will discover the conditions that must be met to construct a triangle. For example, the sum of the lengths of two sides of a triangle must be greater than the longest side of the triangle. They will also discover that the sum of the angles of a triangle is always 180 degrees.
Material Type: Activity/Lab
Research the cost of travel to two major cities. Using your research, write an equation for the cost of the trip per person, in terms of the number of days that you stay. Compare the cost of the trips using equations, tables, and graphs.
Material Type: Activity/Lab
Students will create an artifact using Tinkercad and a 3D printer. The artifact must be a product that distinctly relates to their subject. orStudents will create a holographic presentation using Cospace and Merge Cube. The hologram will be representative of something distinct to their subject matter.
Material Type: Activity/Lab
Students will create a digital, interactive timeline that students can use to highlight the rise, apogee, and decline/fall of their topic.
Material Type: Activity/Lab
Students will create a digital presentation of their topic. Areas highlighted will be Human-Environment Interaction, Politics, Economics, Culture (to include Religion) and Technology. Students will also discuss the important points of the previously created timeline.
Material Type: Activity/Lab
To discover, understand, and compare/contrast cultural conventions in the target culture with students’ culture.
Material Type: Activity/Lab
Student teams will work together both inside and outside the classroom to complete a “GooseChase” scavenger hunt. Students will demonstrate mastery of the basic principles of international trade.
Material Type: Activity/Lab
Student teams will work together both inside and outside the classroom to complete a “GooseChase” scavenger hunt. Students will demonstrate mastery of the principles of supply and demand.
Material Type: Activity/Lab
Students will rewrite a modern song with lyrics summarizing the Progressive Era reforms.
Material Type: Activity/Lab
Students will rewrite a modern song with lyrics summarizing reasons for exploration and colonization
Material Type: Activity/Lab
Student will be able to use integration and differentiation to determine the volume of a solid.
Material Type: Activity/Lab
Create a 3 dimensional model using known base shapes such as square or rectangle, circle or semi-circle
