Careers in Tech: My Name is Tess

This lesson will explore the phenomenon of shipbreaking, including how the technique of breaking down freighters allows us to recycle the materials and parts of the ship for other uses. Students will model shipbreaking in order to better understand the process. 

Know how shipbreaking takes place
Understand the recycling numbers on plastic containers
Be able to harvest bricks and parts from one LEGO build to create another altogether different build

Recycling Freighters

This lesson will explore the phenomenon of maple sap production in the Great Lakes, as it pertains to chemical energy storage and transfer, in contrast with mechanical energy storage and transfer in wind turbines. Students will model the production of maple syrup from sap by making simple syrup and perform a distillation experiment with cola. 

Know how climate change can affect maple syrup production Understand how maple sap is an energy source for trees and syrup is produced from it Be able to use the laboratory technique of distillation to separate the components of cola
