RoboLab: Team Challenge
Additional funding is being provided to enhance the RoboLab, which was initiated last year through an NPEF grant, by providing a laptop computer dedicated to this seventh and eighth grade science mod, making the system portable and giving the instructor the ability to design, present, and run additional robotics challenges.
Micro Dome – A View Port to the Universe
The three dimensional universe will be simulated on site through this grant. In two separate visits in order to accommodate all eighth-grade science students. A presentation addressing specific curriculum content objectives will accompany each simulation.
Calculator-Based Learning in the Biological Sciences
This grant also enhances an initial grant awarded last year by providing more calculator-based labs and probes so that all high school science students can quickly measure and analyze real-time biological data while working in small groups in their classrooms or in the field.
Using Probes to Facilitate Inquiry-Based Physics
This grant enhances a grant awarded last year by the NPEF by providing new probes for physics students at all levels so that they may work in small groups to analyze motion, force, light, acceleration, temperature, magnetic pull voltage, and current.
RoboChallenge
A hands-on, minds-on program that integrates science, math and technology, RoboChallenge will allow Middle School students to build on their fourth-grade robotics and sixth-grade models and designs units by providing guided and progressive robotics and machine design exercises. Students will have the opportunity to solve problems using tools, machines and processes used in industry and […]
