Students learn about magnets and how they are formed. They investigate the properties of magnets and how engineers use magnets in technology. Specifically, students learn about magnetic memory storage, which is the reading and writing of data information using magnets, such as in computer hard drives, zip disks and flash drives.

In this lesson, students explore the relationship between fractions and musical pitch. Media resources and teaching materials are included.

This interactive computer microscope Java tutorial explores how the hardware (QX3 microscope) and computer software work together to produce digital images.

This activity helps students understand the significance of programming and also how the LEGO MINDSTORMS(TM) NXT robot's sensors assist its movement and make programming easier. Students compare human senses to robot sensors, describing similarities and differences.

Using new knowledge acquired in the associated lesson, students program LEGO MINDSTORMS(TM) NXT robots to go through a maze using movement blocks. The maze is created on the classroom floor with cardboard boxes as its walls. Student pairs follow the steps of the engineering design process to brainstorm, design and test programs to success. Through this activity, students understand how to create and test a basic program. A PowerPoint® presentation, pre/post quizzes and worksheet are provided.

Creating a clear and consistent organization for your online class is going to improve student performance and decrease their anxiety about getting the right information. This session will look at how to organize your Google Classroom for maximum student performance.

Is your Google Drive a jumble of files and folders? Having trouble finding content others share with you? In this session, you will learn how to take control and organize your Drive using folders and naming conventions, as well as how to select the right sharing settings and permissions for your folders and docs.

Students learn about the human body's system components, specifically its sensory systems, nervous system and brain, while comparing them to robot system components, such as sensors and computers. The unit's life sciences-to-engineering comparison is accomplished through three lessons and five activities. The important framework of "stimulus-sensor-coordinator-effector-response" is introduced to show how it improves our understanding the cause-effect relationships of both systems. This framework reinforces the theme of the human body as a system from the perspective of an engineer. This unit is the second of a series, intended to follow the Humans Are Like Robots unit.
