The Power of Plants
The Power of Plants
Rating
0.0 stars

This plant-rooted program contains 6 distinct activities. Students will have the chance to exercise their creativity through botanical drawing and creating a classroom herbarium by pressing and preserving plant specimens. They will learn about plant journeys: from farm to table, and seed dispersal. Finally, they will get to know trees, inside and out, from species identification to age rings.

The Power of Plants is a collection of six complete lesson plans that raises awareness about the importance of biodiversity in everyday life.

o Lesson 1: Two classes - Students will explore these different art forms by creating two artworks using the same plant as a reference. Artists’ statements will express the intentions and design decisions inspired by the art form and floral specimen.

o Lesson 2: - One week - Students will collect and preserve plant specimens to create a class herbarium and explore the different uses for a herbarium.

o Lesson 3: Three classes - In this activity, students will explore some mechanisms used by plants to disperse their seeds by creating model fruit and evaluating the relationship between the fruit’s structure and its dispersal ability.

o Lesson 4: Five classes - Students will explore the concept of “food miles”, visit a farm, farmer’s market, or grocery store and write a newspaper article or editorial summarizing their findings.

o Lesson 5: Four classes - Students will examine the leaves, identify the species, make bark rubbings, measure girth, calculate age, and approximate the height of a single tree. Tree profiles are then collected to create a class encyclopedia.

o Lesson 6: One class - In this activity, students will examine tree rings and discover the secrets preserved within its growth rings.

Power to the People
Rating
0.0 stars

Students read and evaluate descriptions of how people live "off the grid" using solar power and come to understand better the degree to which that lifestyle is or is not truly independent of technological, economic and cultural infrastructure and resources. In the process, students develop a deeper appreciation of the meaning of "community" and the need for human connection. This activity is geared towards fifth-grade and older students and Internet research capabilities are required. Portions of this activity may be appropriate with younger students.

For irrigated crops, knowing when and how much water to apply has long been a matter of experience and guesswork. In a changing climate, new technology can reduce this uncertainty, enabling farmers to make every drop of water count.

Preconditioning Balloons
Rating
0.0 stars

Students use balloons (a polymer) to explore preconditioning a viscoelastic material behavior that is important to understand when designing biomedical devices. They improve their understanding of preconditioning by measuring the force needed to stretch a balloon to the same displacement multiple times. Students gain experience in data collection and graph interpretation.

Attention Saskatchewan high school science teachers!

Looking for some FREE resources and opportunities that will connect the curriculum with real-world applications as it pertains to: health and wellness; medicine, nursing, & biomedical engineering?

Check out these 3 resources for science teachers to use to help reach students who might be interested in healthcare careers (these are available gratis):

1. Science teacher hub that gives teachers access to 50+ resources that they can use in the classroom (medical mystery cases, mentorship videos, what different medical specialists do etc..) (https://www.premedskl.com/teacherhub/)

2. Quarterly Medical Bs for high school students - which are case-based competitions (think Jeopardy meets WebMD!). (https://www.premedskl.com/medicalb/)

3. IDEA Scholarships to PreMedSKL, a 1-year advanced curriculum and mentorship program for high school students interested in exploring a career in medicine and healthcare. The IDEA Scholarship is for students from communities that are traditionally under-represented in medicine (ie Indigenous, Black, LatinX and other communities).

Preparing to Respond to Oil Spills in the Arctic
Rating
0.0 stars

As the number of ice-free days in the seas surrounding Alaska increases over time, so do opportunities. Oil and gas companies are ramping up offshore exploration and drilling in the Arctic and the shipping industry is increasing traffic around and through the region. As a result, Arctic residents may have new opportunities for jobs and development across the region. There’s also a downside to the increased activity. Oil and gas extraction operations occasionally have accidents—events that can result in massive oil spills.

So, who was this Presocrates guy? Just kidding!
Long ago, some philosophers worked very hard to separate myths from what they actually knew about nature.
Thales theorized that everything in the world is made of water. Pythagoras was a mathematical-mystical vegetarian. And Democritus, we all know and love as the Atom Guy…
Meet the Presocratics!

Preventing Potholes
Rating
0.0 stars

Acting as civil engineers hired by the U.S. Department of Transportation to research how to best use piezoelectric materials to detect road damage, student groups are challenged to independently create their own experiment procedures, working with given materials and tools. The general approach is that they set up model roads using rubber mats to simulate asphalt and piezoelectric transducers to simulate the in-ground road sensors. They drop heavy bolts at various locations on the “road,” collecting data and then analyzing the voltage changes across the piezoelectric transducers caused by the vibrations of the bolt hitting the rubber. After making notches in the rubber “road” to simulate cracks and potholes, they collect more data to see if the piezo elements detect the damage. Students write up their research and conclusions as if presenting evidence to USDOT officials about how the voltage changes across the piezo elements can be used to indicate road damage and extrapolated to determine when roads need maintenance service.

This textbook is designed specifically for Kansas State's Biology 198 Class. The course is taught using the studio approach and based on active learning. The studio manual contains all of the learning objectives for each class period and is the record of all student activities. Hence, this textbook is more of a reference tool while the studio manual is the learning tool.

Principles of Flight Design Project
Rating
0.0 stars

The grade 6 students completed their unit of study on principles of flight. As an end of unit project, they were asked to create a working prototype of a flying object. The students were given a couple of examples from the textbook (page 208 & 213) of objects they could create. These examples were given to encourage the students to think of ideas and gear them on the right track. Therefore, they were asked not to use these examples (although the students that had trouble thinking of their own project were able to use them). As a class, we agreed upon the required performance criteria. The students were then given a handout to fill in as they built their prototype. This handout was to be handed in once the project was completed. An assessment rubric was also given. The students were asked to write a paragraph on each of the assessment rubric categories, explaining how their prototype met that particular category. Next the students were given a few classes to work on their prototype. Once completed, the students were asked to give a presentation where they would describe their project and demonstrate it. The project was assessed using the criteria set out by the students and the rubrics in the teacher’s guide.
