Ignite a Passion for Science and Engineering with Project Trig-Quake: A Winning PBL Experience in Applying Trigonometry!

Are you searching for an engaging and educational project-based learning (PBL) experience that ignites a passion for science and engineering in your students? Look no further than Project Trig-Quake from Scienovate! This meticulously designed PBL unit dives deep into the fascinating world of trigonometry, demonstrating its practical application in mitigating seismic risks for power grids.

Project Trig-Quake: A PBL Adventure that Electrifies Learning

Project Trig-Quake is more than just a science project – it's a thrilling PBL adventure that challenges students to think critically, solve problems, and apply their knowledge in a real-world context. Here's a glimpse into what awaits:

• The Challenge: Earthquakes can wreak havoc on power grids, causing outages and disrupting lives. Project Trig-Quake empowers students to become junior earthquake engineers tasked with investigating how trigonometry can be used to improve the stability of power lines during these events.
• The Intrigue of Trigonometry: This project goes beyond memorizing formulas. Students will delve into the world of sine (sin) and cosine (cos) functions, using them to understand the forces acting on a model power line as it tilts due to simulated earthquake shaking.
• Experimentation in Action: Through hands-on experimentation, students will build their own model power line and measure the tension required for stability at different angles of sway (the degree to which the line tilts).
• Data Analysis Powerhouse: Students will transform into data analysis detectives! They'll meticulously record their findings, analyze the collected data, and identify patterns between the angle of sway and the tension required for stability.
• The Birth of SecurLine: Armed with their newfound knowledge, students will brainstorm and propose SecurLine, a hypothetical system that automatically adjusts the tension in power lines based on the intensity of an earthquake.
• Communication is Key: The culmination of Project Trig-Quake is a captivating presentation where students showcase their findings, explain their reasoning, and envision the future of earthquake-resistant power grids.
