"As students are working through their various build sessions, we pause ocasionally to talk about the variables they are changing (independent), the expected outcome (dependent variable), and the records and/or graphs they are keeping on the flight times of their rocket (data collection and repeatable expeirmentation)."

"PARACHUTE ENGINEERS!! In this lesson, your students will become parachute engineers. By using the principals of the scientific method and scientific inquiry they will design a parachute and make a modification to test a hypothesis."

"students will complete four stations, discuss Rube Goldberg cartoons, review or learn about the six simple machines (inclined plane, wedge, pulley, lever, wheel and axle, and screw), and create their own Rube Goldberg contraptions using the simple machines."

"Helicopter Drop by Bryce Hixson Take a single strip of copy paper and make three cuts and five folds to create a ready-to-fly helicopter. You can experiment with surface area and friction, and have a lot of fun adapting the design. Great way to teach the effect of gravity and friction on a falling object, experiment with torque and changing forces, and open the door to imagination and engineering."

"for teaching science. Students will apply the skills and concepts they are learning. This lesson design is based on the constructivist approach and 5E Learning Cycle."

"My school required us to assess more than only Level 1 DOK (Depth of Knowledge). This assessment reflects Level 1, Level 2, and Level 3 Depth of Knowledge questions for each of the standards within the 2nd Grade Common Core math standards. Many of the questions require students to make decisions of how to approach a problem and typically require two-step procedures."

"Collect Once, Analyze Anywhere The Connected Science System is a networked collection of technology that supports hands-on, collaborative learning with individualized accountability. The wireless capabilities of LabQuest 2 provide unprecedented tools for collecting and analyzing data on mobile devices and iPads®, remotely viewing and controlling LabQuest 2 with a computer, and emailing sensor data and graphs for later analysis at home. "

"Vernier LabQuest 2 is a standalone interface used to collect sensor data with its built-in graphing and analysis application. The large, high-resolution touch screen makes it easy and intuitive to collect, analyze, and share data from experiments. Its wireless connectivity encourages collaboration and personalized learning. You can also use LabQuest 2 as a computer interface using Logger Pro software for advanced analysis and video features. "

"Sure, there are plenty of apps you can use in education. There are even apps created specifically for use in education. Apple has a whole category dedicated to education in the App store. But how do you really know which ones are worth downloading, or possibly even paying for?"

"E.S.P. CheckMate is a 1st for Aviation. Our new "Emergency Substitute Pilot"tm could save the lives of you and your passengers by providing the most basic and simplest of terms and procedures to the NON-PILOT, in the unfortunate event the real pilot becomes incapacitated. E.S.P. CheckMatetm assists the NON-PILOT in controlling the aircraft, reaching help on the radio, and if necessary, landing the aircraft. The graphical format makes it easy and comfortable to follow. E.S.P. CheckMatetm can easily be the difference in the outcome of this most serious type of emergency."
