This interactive exercise focuses on how line graphs can be used to represent mathematical data and provides an opportunity to translate actions from a story into graph form, then to write your own story to coincide with a line graph.
Learn how to make a great impression at your next job interview with this self-paced lesson. Includes videos from a professional career counselor, interactive practice opportunities to get you thinking about your strategy, and more activities you can try at home on your own.
Acting as if they are biomedical engineers, students design and print 3D prototypes of pressure sensors that measure the pressure of the eyes of people diagnosed with glaucoma. After completing the tasks within the associated lesson, students conduct research on pressure gauges, apply their understanding of radio-frequency identification (RFID) technology and its components, iterate their designs to make improvements, and use 3D software to design and print 3D prototypes. After successful 3D printing, teams present their models to their peers. If a 3D printer is not available, use alternate fabrication materials such as modeling clay, or end the activity once the designs are complete.

The Makey Makey Invention Literacy Workshop for Educators is a fun hands-on learning experience where you'll learn how to teach Invention Literacy, Making, and Design Thinking using the award winning Makey Makey invention kit. We'll explore how basic circuits work, use paper and pencil to create drawings that speak, build pressure sensitive switches from cardboard, and make clever inventions that solve real world problems.
The Makey Makey Invention Literacy Workshop for Educators is a fun hands-on learning experience where you'll learn how to teach Invention Literacy, Making, and Design Thinking using the award winning Makey Makey invention kit. We'll explore how to teach circuits and conductivity using Makey Makeys and then put our skills to use designing your own inventions! Participants learn best practices and gain access to a multimedia training website that can be used later when working with your students or training others.
This activity is a guided inquiry of electrical circuits.
In this lab, the students will test a variety of materials to discover which items are conductors and which items are insulators. They will discuss, classify, record data, and develop new questions relating to electricity.
Who decides how massive structures like skyscrapers are made? This video segment adapted from the PBS series "Building Big" showcases the job of a civil engineer. [3:11]
It's Your Paycheck! is designed for use in high school personal finance classes. The curriculum contains three sections-"Know Your Dough," "KaChing!" and "All About Credit." The lessons in each of these sections employ various teaching strategies to engage students so that they have opportunities to apply the concepts being taught. Each lesson includes black-line masters of the handouts and visuals needed to teach the lesson. This content from Econ Lowdown also features alignment to national Financial Literacy and/or Economics standards.
Lesson 1: Invest in Yourself
Students solve word puzzles with varying degrees of knowledge. They discover that more knowledge (human capital) leads to more productive outcomes. The students identify ways in which people invest in human capital and the link between investment in human capital and earning income. This content from Econ Lowdown also features alignment to national Financial Literacy and/or Economics standards.
All of the lessons are correlated with the National Personal Finance Standards and the National Standards in Economics. See the Lesson Correlation section (pdf) for more information.
Lesson 2: "W" Is for Wages, W4 and W2
Students compute the gross pay for a fictional character named John Dough given his hourly wage and the number of hours worked. They compare gross pay to net pay. They learn what FICA and federal income taxes are. They learn how to complete a W-4 form and what a W-2 form is. This content from Econ Lowdown also features alignment to national Financial Literacy and/or Economics standards.
Each lesson is accompanied by a SMART Notebook file that contains visuals and handouts (whenever practical), along with definitions of terms and review questions.
Students participate in an activity to learn about checking accounts, savings accounts and check cashing services. Students learn the components of a check, and they organize and enter information into an account register - in order to determine the balance. Students learn why maintaining account records is important. Students balance a monthly account statement.
