This online activity challenges students to design a renewable energy system for one of five different cities, each with different energy resource potential and budgets. Students can test their designs using real-time weather data in each city.

Product-based assessment is an evaluation method that focuses on the final outcome or product created by students as a measure of their learning. This approach emphasizes the application of knowledge and skills to produce tangible results. A module designed for product-based assessment includes specific guidelines, tasks, and rubrics that serve as a framework for assessing student performance. Rubrics, in particular, provide a clear set of criteria and standards for evaluating the quality of the product, ensuring consistency and objectivity in the assessment process.  

Learn about the art and science of ballooning from Air and Space experts and ABC's chief meteorologist Ginger Zee in this episode of STEM in 30.

The purpose of this activity is to demonstrate the importance of rocks, soils and minerals in engineering and how using the right material for the right job is important. The students build three different sand castles and test them for strength and resistance to weathering. Then, they discuss how the buildings are different and what engineers need to think about when using rocks, soils and minerals for construction.

In this lesson students investigate how the layers of a spacesuit protect an astronaut in space.

Use their knowledge of air, through a vacuum activity, to determine what will happen to objects when pressure is increased and decreased.

How can you remove a coin from the bottom of a stack of coins without touching the coins and also keeping the stack nearly motionless?

Après un premier Plan Stratégique Numerique, décliné de 2015 à 2020, l'UCLouvain se dote en 2021 d'un nouveau projet de transformation numérique à l'horizon du 600e anniversaire de l'institution. Il contribue à la mise en place d'objectifs d’ouverture (Open Science, Open Education, dynamique internationale via Circle U.) et d' innovation (transformation de l’environnement pédagogique). Prolongeant l’expérience numérique développée ces dernières années, ce projet (document PDF, sous licence CC-BY) vise à en pérenniser les résultats, en matière d'Open Education, d'Open Sience et de formation à distance.

Identity and access management is one of the key focus area for industries considering the volume, sensitivity of data that is being accessed, processed by individuals from multiple channels and from multiple places. To make sure right person has the right access to the right data at the right time becomes critical aspect to protect confidentiality, integrity and availability of the information. Authenticating users is a first thing to do before we allow anybody to access information. There are multiple ways how we authenticate users for ex. combination of username and password, username, password and an additional factor such as One time password(OTP), Email, Mobile push notification etc(Multifactor authentication).

This performance assessment aligns with NGSS Performance Expectation 5.ESS1.2 and is intended to be used as an interim assessment. These assessments can either be used summatively, as an end of learning activity, or formatively, utilizing student responses to identify next instructional steps.

In this lab I simply have students dissolve halite and sylvite in water at various temperatures. I use this experiment to introduce students to the principles of equilibrium thermodynamics, as well as basic lab skills, data analysis, and lab report writing. Students use basic laboratory skills to conduct their experiments then analyze their data using a spreadsheet program such as Excel. They then write up their results and discussion in a formal lab report.

This course for first- or second-year college students was designed to be taught as a hybrid course that meets synchronously (face to face or on Zoom) twice a week, or an in-person course with meetings twice a week over a 10-week term at Southern Oregon University.

This course covers a foundation in the developing field of arts-based research (ABR) and a basic practicum in the skills for conducting research, critically analyzing data, and presenting findings in ABR.

This course was designed using a basis in aesthetic practices with a pedagogical lens of feminist/BIPOC theory to examine how data science has been and continues to be used for special interests that perpetuate barriers to access, diversity and inclusion.

This course presents the fundamentals of digital signal processing with particular emphasis on problems in biomedical research and clinical medicine. It covers principles and algorithms for processing both deterministic and random signals. Topics include data acquisition, imaging, filtering, coding, feature extraction, and modeling. The focus of the course is a series of labs that provide practical experience in processing physiological data, with examples from cardiology, speech processing, and medical imaging. The labs are done in MATLAB® during weekly lab sessions that take place in an electronic classroom. Lectures cover signal processing topics relevant to the lab exercises, as well as background on the biological signals processed in the labs.

This is a field and computer laboratory exercise that introduces undergraduate students, advanced high school students, and members of the general public to using Google Earth, GPS, aerial imagery, and an online illustrated vegetation and tidal marsh environment identification guide to distinguish and map vegetational and physical environmental zones within a salt marsh. They also learn about the physical and ecological relationships between these environments.

Students use GPS devices to collect field data as waypoints and tracks, and upload the data to computers in GPX format. They learn to open the data in Google Earth along with infrared and color aerial imagery, and use the GPS data to interpret the aerial imagery. Using Google Earth tools, they draw polygons to demarcate the boundaries of environmental zones in the wetlands that they recognize on the imagery.

The students and instructors also take photographs of the students in each of these environmental zones and embed the photographs into information balloons of placemarks in Google Earth.

The exercise was originally designed for use at Flax Pond, a salt marsh on the North Shore of Long Island. However, it can easily be adapted for use in other tidal marshes, and can serve as a template for developing similar activities to be conducted at other locations in which aerial imagery can be used to distinguish various forms of land cover.

(How) have public attitudes about work and gender changed over the last 25 years? Using the General Social Survey (available online) students will conduct a descriptive statistical analysis of Americans perceptions about women and work from 1988. They will then contextualize their findings within the contemporary literature about these issues.

This opening assignment for an introductory quantitative reasoning course asks students to write about "Numbers We Should Know." Its goal is to help students begin to think quantitatively, evaluate the sources of quantitative information critically, and write using numbers precisely and thoughtfully.

Students work with a set of cards showing different ways of expressing ratios numerically. They group the cards showing equivalent ratios and then order the groups from least to greatest value.Key ConceptsIt can be hard to compare the values of ratios represented in different forms (e.g., a:b, decimal, fraction, a to b). Simplifying ratios makes it easier to compare and order their values.Goals and Learning ObjectivesIdentify ratios that are equivalent but expressed differently.Simplify ratios in order to group and order cards efficiently and successfully.

Students focus on interpreting, creating, and using ratio tables to solve problems.Key ConceptsA ratio table shows pairs of corresponding values, with an equivalent ratio between each pair. Ratio tables have both an additive and a multiplicative structure:Goals and Learning ObjectivesComplete ratio tables.Use ratio tables to solve problems.
