The Electric and Magnetic Personalities of Mr. Maxwell
Read the Fine Print
Educational Use
Rating
0.0 stars

Students are briefly introduced to Maxwell's equations and their significance to phenomena associated with electricity and magnetism. Basic concepts such as current, electricity and field lines are covered and reinforced. Through multiple topics and activities, students see how electricity and magnetism are interrelated.

This hands-on activity explores five different forms of erosion (chemical, water, wind, glacier and temperature). Students rotate through stations and model each type of erosion on rocks, soils and minerals. The students record their observations and discuss the effects of erosion on the Earth's landscape. Students learn about how engineers are involved in the protection of landscapes and structures from erosion. Math problems are included to help students think about the effects of erosion in real-world scenarios.

How Cold Can You Go?

Educational Use
Rating
0.0 stars

Students explore materials engineering by modifying the material properties of water. Specifically, they use salt to lower the freezing point of water and test it by making ice cream. Using either a simple thermometer or a mechatronic temperature sensor, students learn about the lower temperature limit at which liquid water can exist such that even if placed in contact with a material much colder than 0 degrees Celsius, liquid water does not get colder than 0 °C. This provides students with an example of how materials can be modified (engineered) to change their equilibrium properties. They observe that when mixed with salt, liquid water's lower temperature limit can be dropped. Using salt-ice mixtures to cool the ice cream mixes to temperatures lower than 0 °C works better than ice alone.

Insulation Materials Investigation

Educational Use
Rating
0.0 stars

Students test the insulation properties of different materials by timing how long it takes ice cubes to melt in the presence of various insulating materials. Students learn about the role that thermal insulation materials can play in reducing heat transfer by conduction, convection and radiation, as well as the design and implementation of insulating materials in construction and engineering.

This arc GIS application interactive layer shows the stages of glacial ice locations across Wisconsin from 32,000 to 11,000 years before present. Shows subsequent impacts of glacial activity to form moraines, eskers, kames, and other glacial features including glacial melting to form glacial lakes and features across Wisconsin.

This is a publicly accessible website that contains wonderful, Wisconsin based data. Maybe the writing from another Wisconsin HS science teacher provides some ideas for how these data could be used.
