In this inquiry investigation, students will observe unknown tissue samples and draw them in their science notebooks. They will work in groups to present and defend a classification scheme for the unknown tissues to the class, and then use textbooks as a reference to compare their scheme to the accepted classification system.

With raised awareness and accessibility laws emerging around the world, understanding what inclusive access to the Web means is becoming necessary knowledge for anyone who produces digital content. Much of the current information on Web accessibility requires some technical understanding, and may be difficult to consume for the average person. The instruction here will “interpret” the W3C Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG 2.1), to make it easier to understand for a general audience. You will have an opportunity to experience barriers firsthand, then experience that content with the barriers removed, developing a practical understanding of web accessibility.

This course introduces students to the fundamental concepts of physical computing systems through hands-on, real-life applications. Physical computing forms the basis of smart devices, wearables like smart watches, e-textiles / fashion, IoT (Internet of Things) devices, and hardware start-up
This course teaches students to design electronic devices that interact with the physical world by building circuits and developing software algorithms that run on a microcontroller. These devices will also be connected to the internet so they can send sensor data to dashboards and be remotely operated from a computer or mobile device.
This course is designed specifically for university undergraduate students from all majors. It presumes no in-depth knowledge of physics or math nor prior experience with electronics. The only expected prerequisite knowledge is introductory experience with procedural programming (i.e. variables, functions, loops).

This activity is an extension to standard labs that have students generate a pH curve from strong acid/strong base data. Students are asked to predict and test how the the titration end point will shift when titrating vinegar (a weak acid) with NaOH (a strong base).

This activity is a lab where students design an experiment to construct a self-powered mini-submarine that stays underwater for at least 10 seconds, and then float back up to the top of the water level. Buoyancy and density are applied and discussed.
This activity is an inquiry based lab where students determine 3 ways …
This activity is an inquiry based lab where students determine 3 ways to change the rate of the chemical reaction between hydrochloric acid and alka-seltzer.
This activity is a indoor lab where students investigate the current differences …
This activity is a indoor lab where students investigate the current differences in different circuits where students build a small house and construct different types of circuits.
This activity is a field investigation in which students identify organisms and …
This activity is a field investigation in which students identify organisms and their energy sources. Students collect data and create a food web that explains how the organisms in their ecosystem are related.
This activity is a lab investigation in which students observe the rate …
This activity is a lab investigation in which students observe the rate of generation of hydrogen gas from a reaction, and then modify the procedure to compare another variable affecting the rate of this reaction.

This is a guided inquiry-based lab that investigates forces exerted on a group of student-designed and engineered "balloon cars". Each group of students is then challenged to build a "balloon car" that travels a maximum distance.
This physics activity is a projectile motion / gravity investigation where students …
This physics activity is a projectile motion / gravity investigation where students drop and shoot (horizontally) soft balls from different heights and record the time taken to hit the ground. Students make a trendline to predict the time it will take the ball to hit the ground from a certain height. Students will also discover that shot and dropped balls hit the ground at the same time.
