Investigating the Sciences using Data Collection Probes
In conjunction with an iPad, the Science department will utilize LabQuest2 standalone Data Collection Devices to engage the students in ‘hands-on’ and ‘minds-on’ learning. The probes provide students with the opportunity to quickly acquire real-time data and facilitate real work inquiry-based learning in a STEM environment.
Cardiac Classroom
By attending the Live From Surgery program a the Liberty Science Center, student are able to experience an operating room, peer over the shoulders of the medical team, and talk to surgeons during surgery. LSC facilitators move among students in the theater during the 2.5 hour session, shaping the conversation and structuring developmentally appropriate questions. […]
Promoting STEM through the use of Rockets
Providing various equipment, students design, build, test and modify rockets while investigating a variety of physics. In addition, the rocket design activities can be adapted to address additional physics concepts and incorporate the 3D printer as students design and modify their rockets.
Liberty Science Center Hands-On Technology
To promote critical thinking, collaboration, entrepreneurship, innovation and problem solving, the AP Physics students will attend the Extended Laboratory Workshop hosted by Liberty Science Center. Students will engage in the design and construction of a Trebuchet machine as well as program the micro-controller motor.
Using Heart Rate Monitors to Increase Fitness Level
The Physical Education departments will be utilizing heart rate monitors during class to enhance the activity levels of student. The goal of this project is to develop a greater fitness bases as well as enable students to monitor their progress/effort.
