Spacetime ripples found at last
These questions focus on gravitational waves, gravitational wave detectors and how observing gravitational waves can improve our understanding of the universe.
The latest on self-driving cars
These student questions focus on autonomous vehicles and the nature of research that will support their widespread use.
Wave detection
Students will design, build, test and optmize their own light-based detector for waves (a simple optical seismometer) and will explore how this detector relates to more sophisticated gravitational wave detectors.
Wave generation
Students will generate and observe waves in a clear pan of water, drawing connections between these waves and light and gravitational waves.
Doing the wave
These discussion prompts cover the general properties and types of waves, how humans and other animals detect waves, and the design of laboratory wave detectors.
Artificial intelligence through the years
Students will search the Science News archive for stories related to artificial intelligence, its applications and potential issues.
