Preparing for Alma High School Lesson

The pre-service teachers are working hard to finalize the activity with Steve and Lisa's students at Alma High School. We have decided to produce homemade batteries using natural materials that will provide the necessary medium to power either an LED light or some simple buzzers. Using multimeters we hope to check how much power different materials can provide. It should be a great way for students to plan and create the most successful series of liquids/fruit/vegetables to produce the most power!

John Glenn High School Activity

Thank you to Shawn and Aaron for a great day at John Glenn High School. The pre-service teachers had a great time working with the students on their Rube Goldberg experiments. It was great to see such creativity and teamwork on display.  With limited time, students were successfully able to build simple machines that either popped a balloon, dispensed mentos in coke, or dropped goldfish into a cup.
