In this video segment from Cyberchase, the CyberSquad designs an invention that will help them cross a swamp and also reach the top of a tall cliff.

This article discusses how to incorporate the components of change management when helping design personalized coaching plans that inform professional learning priorities.

Students explore the genre of posters, review informational writing and visual design, and then design poster presentations to share in class or at a school-wide fair.

In this video segment adapted from ZOOM, cast members design and build door alarms using a variety of materials, including aluminum foil, batteries, and buzzers.

In this video segment adapted from ZOOM, cast members discover that metal is a good conductor of electricity as they play the steadiness tester game.

Michigan Engineering researchers are developing modular origami that can be used to build adaptable load-bearing structures. This development could help shift infrastructure from large structures that are stuck in place into structures that can be quickly deployed and repurposed.

Using "The Grapes of Wrath" as a backdrop, students conduct research on issues that the novel addresses, publishing their findings in a multigenre museum exhibit.

In this video segment adapted from ZOOM, cast members make a bridge from a single piece of paper. Will it be strong enough to hold a hundred pennies?

Students will explore properties of sound and sound waves, experiment with building models of various musical instruments, then design and build a playable musical instrument of their choosing.

Students observe a chemical reaction with hydrogen peroxide and potatoes. The class identifies and then selects a variable that could be changed, are guided to write a valid investigation that tests that variable, and then performs the investigation and analyzes the data. Then, in pairs, students select a different chemical reaction, select a variable to test, write a valid experiment that tests that variable, analyze their data and share their claims and evidence

Two of the most important questions in designing, or redesigning, learning environments
are: How does learning happen? and How can we best create environments that support
learning? While empirical research has unearthed important insights and established agreedupon
models to help answer these questions, this research base is extensive, complex, and
often not honored by the design of traditional schools. To that end, our Designing for Learning
Primer aims to summarize the essence of what’s known about how learning happens in a way
that is digestible and actionable.Two of the most important questions in designing, or redesigning, learning environments

Please join the Community College Consortium for Open Educational Resources (CCCOER) for a free and open webinar on Designing for Open Pedagogy. Open Pedagogy was first introduced by Lumen Learning co-founder David Wiley, as a way to capture how the use of OER can change educational practices. He relates that using OER in the same way as traditional textbooks is like driving an airplane down the road – it is missing out on what open can provide for student and teacher collaboration, engagement, and learning.

This course covers the design, construction, and testing of field robotic systems, through team projects with each student responsible for a specific subsystem. Projects focus on electronics, instrumentation, and machine elements. Design for operation in uncertain conditions is a focus point, with ocean waves and marine structures as a central theme. Topics include basic statistics, linear systems, Fourier transforms, random processes, spectra, ethics in engineering practice, and extreme events with applications in design.

This video from Nature offers a description of desirable traits in beef and dairy cattle.

At Desmos, our mission is to help every student learn math and love learning math. With that in mind, we’ve assembled a collection of unique and engaging digital activities, which are free for you and your students. Access to most activities requires a free account.

Permitted use: a) as an end user, for your personal, non-commercial use or (b) as a teacher, for academic use by you and your students in individual classes
