This class focuses on a range of available energy storage technologies. It builds a deeper understanding of how and why each application works. Students also build their own renewable energy-based house using available assets like solar modules, wind turbines, batteries, […]
This class offers an introduction to renewable energy including its definition, potential, and range of currently available technologies. A detailed examination of solar photovoltaic technology is provided so that students can learn about this technology from the manufacturing of modules […]
Part 2 on solar photovoltaic technology is provided so that students can learn about this technology from the manufacturing of modules to installation. A demonstration of how to design a roof-mounted solar array is included using an online tool.
This class will introduce students to wind power by providing an overview of how wind generators work. We will examine a wide range of issues associated with wind power, and spend time at an off-shore wind power project.
We will begin our review of SAT Math with Data Analysis–a very important content area for the SAT, but one which many students haven’t had enough experience with! We’ll visit the planetarium to help us visualize one of the official […]
Formulas and unit conversions are often a topic that students initially feel very comfortable with…but then the SAT Math Section asks questions about them in unusual and confusing ways! We will get to the bottom of this by taking a […]
The SAT loves to take simple problems and make them look mysterious… for instance, taking an Algebra 1 problem and making it look far more complex than anything a student has seen before. We’ve talked in previous weeks about this… […]
Linear and exponential growth and depreciation are increasingly common topics on the SAT, but for many students, they feel like ancient history because it’s been a while since they’ve seen them in class… we’ll travel to Dinosaur Island to see […]
In this lesson, students learn how sea turtles are adapted to living in saltwater and their life history. Students simulate sea turtle survivorship and explore how scientists study sea turtles in VR.
In this lesson students learn the major events of sea turtle reproduction, including nesting and hatching. Students explore sea turtle crawls and experience hatching in VR.
In this lesson students learn the adaptations and characteristics that unite all sea turtles. In addition, students explore the diversity of sea turtle species by interacting with sea turtle models and swimming with turtles in VR. Students make observations of […]
In this lesson, students learn the adaptations that support sea turtle migrations and the reasons sea turtle migrate. Students explore sea turtle tracking and visit a “arribada” in VR.
