Mr. Davis and a fully functioning R2D2 robot made from a discarded Pepsi cooler and Gears IDS robotics systems components including pneumatic gripper, servo articulated arm, and full motion control. This was just one project in our new Robotics and Technology program.
Creating Miniature Rainforests to learn about the water cycle, energy photosynthesis, and ecosystems
Ground Truthing Satellite data for the Forest Watch program which checks the health of pine trees using spectrographic data derived from chlorophyll samples taken from pine trees in "pixel sized" plots. Here, student determines the height of one of the chlorophyll sample trees.
Students are working on a Civil Engineering problem solving project to control erosion and deposition in miniature scale towns they have created.
Students study energy conversion, forces, and some basic solar and mechanical engineering as they build and test their solar cars.
Students design, build and test truss bridges learning about the forces of tension, compression, twisting and shearing.
Young nautical engineers at work
Qualitative analysis of a "mystery powder" during the heat test phase yeilds surprising results for these two GATE students. Discovering the microscopic world of protists.
This life size replica of a T-Rex skull was sculpted in one of Mr. Davis' "special projects" classes by a group of enthusiastic young paleontologists.
Mr. Davis constructing a sailboat test tank allowing the students to learn first-hand about buoyancy, friction, balanced and unbalanced forces, hydrodynamics, pressure, center of gravity and the engineering process.
