This lesson begins with a fun, interactive, whole-class, charades-like activity that will hook students and introduce them to the concept of machine learning. Then, we'll watch a video which shows how machine learning algorithms can be used for real software applications with a fun bowling simulation game. Included is a lesson plan which describes the activity and workflow, as well as a link to the video and a set of questions for students to answer and then discuss as a class. The students do

In this lesson, students will learn what voltage, resistance, and current are, how they are measured, and how they relate to each other. For accelerated classes, you may even introduce “Ohm’s Law,” which allows students to calculate the current given voltage and resistance. First, a brief reading will introduce them to the concepts and vocabulary. Then, they will use an interactive computer simulation to build a circuit, adjust its parameters, and analyze the results. Included in the lesson is

Included is a worksheet for an investigation for students to discover Ohm's law, with 6 practice problems on the back. Also included is a separate worksheet with 6 different problems. If they already know Ohm's law, you can just use the 12 practice problems. If not, you can use the investigation worksheet and slideshow to teach them. On the worksheet, students will first be introduced to the voltage, current, and resistance and their units (or reminded of them). To discover Ohm's law, they wil

For teaching isometric and orthographic drawings. I did this with 6th graders with lots of differentiation but it can definitely be done with older grades. Works best if you have 3D printers to print the objects so the students can measure. Included are the answer keys for the completed objects for both isometric and orthographic drawings, the STL files for the objects, the templates for easy and medium versions for each drawing, and blank isometric and orthographic drawing paper. Enjoy!

Included is the packet I use for my bridge building project. For a sneak preview of the project, check out this link! https://www.youtube.com/shorts/CGuBJV652sA Some materials are required for this project. Here's a link to the wooden sticks I used. The rest of the materials can be found at any craft store. https://www.pitsco.com/Competitions-Clubs-and-Programs/4-H/Bridges-Refill-Pack (The basswood is a bit harder to cut but much stronger. I would recommend that.)
