This lesson uses NASA satellite data to correlate cloud cover over Africa to the solar declination. The student will access NASA data using the MY NASA DATA Live Access Server and import the data into Excel spreadsheet software. Students will use NASA satellite data to correlate cloud cover over Africa to the solar declination.

Overall goal of the module (reference: The standards that reflect intended Enduring Understanding)The student will:A.) model a longitudinal (compression) wave and diagram, label, and describe the components (wavelength, compression, and frequency) (PS.6 a)B.) explain the relationship between frequency and wavelength (PS.6 a)C.) plan and conduct an investigation related to sound (the investigation may be a complete experimental design or may focus on systematic observation, description, measurement, and/or data collection and analysis) (PS.6 b)This module was developed by Tracey Nipper as part of a Virginia Commonwealth University STEM initiative sponsored by the Viginia Department of Education.

The student will compare sound traveling through a solid and sound traveling through the air. After the completion of this module students will understand that sound travels fastest through solids, slower in liquids and slowest through gas. This module was developed by Sarah Donnelly as part of a Virginia Commonwealth University STEM initiative sponsored by the Virginia Department of Education.

Lesson length: 1-2 hoursGrade level: 6-8This is a three part lesson where students (1) explore elements (and their properties) that are used in materials to build and power a cell phone (any easily accessed, small, electronic machine could stand in for a cell phone), (2) approach activities though an engineering design thinking lens and participate in an active simulation of the movement of electricity (electrons) to power a device, and (3) participate in a Lego build where they experience set constraints to their building project. This can be related to the constraints engineers face as they build cell phones (or anything else).This material is based upon work supported by the National Science Foundation under Grant No. 1657263.

This lesson is part of the Virginia K-12 Computer Science Pipeline which is partly funded through a GO Virginia grant in partnership with Chesapeake Public Schools, Loudoun County Public Schools, and the Loudoun Education Foundation. Students will design and conduct an investigation to answer the question, "What is the relationship between mass and distance a robot travels?" The lesson uses WeDo 2.0 robots; however, other robots may be used as well as conducted without robotics. This lesson was written for 5th graders; however, the content alignes with SOL PS.8 as well.
