1500-1799 Era  Emergence of Historical Tribes
Rating
0.0 stars

The Protohistoric period recorded the stories of developing tribal cultures through oral traditions, written accounts, and cultural artifacts. Pawnee ancestors led the return. Some hunted, and left, others remained and contributed to Ponca, Omaha, and Oto tribes. The Oglala and Brule subgroups of the Teton Dakota were horse nomads. This period saw the first contacts between Europeans and Native Americans. Traders from the East Coast arrived, bringing horses and tools as well as whiskey and conflict.

8.1 Contact Forces
Unrestricted Use

Rating
0.0 stars

Oh, no! I’ve dropped my phone! Most of us have experienced the panic of watching our phones slip out of our hands and fall to the floor. We’ve experienced the relief of picking up an undamaged phone and the frustration of the shattered screen. This common experience anchors learning in the Contact Forces unit as students explore a variety of phenomena to figure out, “Why do things sometimes get damaged when they hit each other?”

Student questions about the factors that result in a shattered cell phone screen lead them to investigate what is really happening to any object during a collision. They make their thinking visible with free-body diagrams, mathematical models, and system models to explain the effects of relative forces, mass, speed, and energy in collisions. Students then use what they have learned about collisions to engineer something that will protect a fragile object from damage in a collision. They investigate which materials to use, gather design input from stakeholders to refine the criteria and constraints, develop micro and macro models of how their solution is working, and optimize their solution based on data from investigations. Finally, students apply what they have learned from the investigation and design to a related design problem.

Rating
0.0 stars

In a world filled with more content than we could ever possibly consume, recommendation algorithms have long been a necessary part of the internet. This type of AI helps determine what we see (and don't see) online. But while that can be helpful, these algorithms can have unintended consequences, like creating filter bubbles, perpetuating bias, and undermining our creativity, choices, and opportunities. Use this lesson to help your students think critically about how AI is shaping their experiences online in both helpful and harmful ways.

Over time, technology has influenced how we build and maintain friendships. And with recent developments in AI technology, we now have generative AI chatbots that can conduct what feels like a very real conversation. While this can be entertaining and helpful, it can also cause people to develop emotional connections with chatbots. But is this OK? In this lesson, students will grapple with this question, reflecting upon what makes human friendships special and unique.
