Explore how natural convection might look in a whole house, with or without a ceiling. Consider the following questions based on your experience of rooms you have been in. Does…
How does water move through Earth’s layers? Use the model templates to explore the differing permeabilities of different sediment types, drill wells into model landscapes, explore the difference between confined…
…crop production. You will run experiments with computational models to compare the effect of different management strategies on the land. You will not be able to answer the module’s framing…
…ranging from non-polar covalent to ionic. In the model depicted above students adjust the electronegativity of two atoms and see the effect it has on electron distribution and bond type….
In this activity, you will use a model to study the effect of a consumer (rabbits) on two species of producers (grasses and weeds).
The concept of interdependence in an ecosystem and its effect on the evolution of populations is further explored through a model of a dam. Students build a dam in the…
Explore the effect of different masses on the terminal velocity of a falling parachute. In this hands-on laboratory experiment, students use a motion sensor to collect data on coffee filter…
…(fast) conductivity or low (slow) conductivity. This model illustrates the effect of different conductivities by placing different materials between a hot and a cold object and graphing the changing temperatures….
…ceilings air circulation is a problem, since it transfers heat. Explore the effect of multiple barriers on the amount of convection and apply this to how insulation should be designed….
Explore the effect of an electric field on the electron distribution of an atom.
