__**Lesson Plan #1:**__ Topic(s) -Electricity including series and parallel circuits, ohm's law, transistors and using a multimeter. Grade Level -11 or 12

|| These two activities we did very quickly in the workshop. I really liked both of them and I love the use of the copper tape. To do these well, it will probably take a full class period for each activity but I think they are worth doing. I think the students will like learning about the transistors. ||
 * 5Es || Link || Description ||
 * Engage || [[file:Lesson 1 Engage.docx]] || Students are given a light bulb, copper wire and a battery and must discover and draw two ways to light up the light bulb. ||
 * Explore || [[file:Electric3_explore.docx]] || This activity uses the Phet simulation to explore series and parallel circuits and how current and voltage vary between the two. ||
 * Explain || [[file:Lesson 1 Explain.ppt]] || This power point explains all aspects of electricity appropriate for a high school physics class. It covers, current, voltage, resistance and OHM's Law. It also covers series and parallel circuits and how to use a multimeter. It includes some interactions. ||
 * Elaborate || [[file:Lesson 1 MT elaborate 1.docx]]
 * Evaluate || [[file:Lesson 1 MT eval.docx]] || I would do the yard light activity as an evaluation. After completing the activity, I would have the students right a lab report explaining what they learned with an explanation of how the yard light works. ||

__**Lesson Plan #2:**__ Topic(s) -Exploring the Fascinating Fields of Engineering Grade Level -9-12


 * 5Es || Link || Description ||
 * Engage || [[file:Lesson2 MT engage.docx]] || This is a slide of the different engineering fields and the average starting salaries of each field. I might also have our guidance counselor bring in a more recent chart of starting salaries and talk to the students about engineering opportunities. ||
 * Explore || [[file:Lesson 2 MT Explore.docx]] || This activity is the one we did at SDSU where we walked around the campus and took pictures that represented different engineering fields. This is the same activity only using your school and campus. ||
 * Explain || [[file:Lesson 2 MT explain.ppt]] || This Power Point is goes through all of the different engineering fields and explains them. It was put together by Mylo Hellickson, SDSU Engineer. ||
 * Elaborate || [[file:Rubric for Engineering lesson.doc]] || Students pick an engineering area and do a power point presentation on it. Suggested areas are agricultural, civil, mechanical, chemical and electrical. ||
 * Evaluate || [[file:Lesson 2 MT eval.docx]] || For their final project, students will interview an engineer that has graduated from our high school. They may do this over the phone, in person, or via email. They will be graded on the report they turn in summarizing this interview. ||
