Crosscutting concepts help us make sense of big ideas in new ways. With these graphic organizers, you will model aspects of the lithium-ion battery supply chain from many perspectives.
Fill out these graphic organizers to understand:
Structure and function: How do the properties of a lithium-ion battery contribute to the way it works?
System and system models: Resource extraction is done in an ecosystem. What components make up that ecosystem? What relationships exist between those components?
Stability and change:What relationships exist between human action and ecosystem effects during resource extraction?
From hoverboards to cell phones, portable electrical power makes life as we know it possible. But it can come with some dangerous possibilities. Let’s investigate, experiment and search for solutions.
The Science of Extraction to E-Waste
Trade-Offs & the Supply Chain
Safe and sustainable cities will depend on lithium-ion batteries to power our modern lives. But what are the costs?
The Science of Fire Forensics
Claims, Evidence and Reasoning
There’s been a fire. Your job is to figure out where the fire started, and how.
The Science of Fire Safety
Fire safety is a complex problem without a single answer. Learn how to engineer and design fire safe spaces.
