New Differentiated STEM Lessons: Scientists Take On Batteries

Written by Claire Podulka | October 26, 2015

Sure, we all love our devices. We keep in touch via text and find our way with GPS. But when your battery dies, you're lost. Don't worry! Scientists and engineers are on the case, tackling one of the most pressing issues of the 21st century: how do we power all our new technologies?

A Better Battery: How are scientists addressing the need for increasingly powerful, long-lasting, and safe batteries? These Common Core-aligned differentiated lessons combine chemistry, physics, and engineering to teach students about multiple new approaches to powering technology and also give students an opportunity to analyze how authors structure their arguments for and against different approaches. View lessons >>
