Modeling an Atom

Marie Planchard — Tue, 15 Aug 2006 12:01:03 -0400

This lesson develops the spherical and circular geometry utilized to create an atom with a nucleus and electrons in orbit. Students will create a sphere with multiple configurations to represent different elements of the atom. This original ideal was provided by Jeff Mosby.

Lesson Plan: Column_chromatography

Students utilize SolidWorks to prepare a model for their column. Students utilize internet research to prepare a brief flowchart for liquid chromatography. This schematic will include: detector cell; column; solvent reservoir; sample loop; and data recording/storage. Students utilize internet research to prepare a brief discussion of stationary and mobile phases and how the column and solvent achieve the separation of a mixture of components. Contributed by Helen Flavin.

Lesson Plan: Overview of Course & Technology Tools

Marie Planchard — Tue, 09 May 2006 08:10:39 -0400

This lesson provides an overview to the SolidWorks - STEM online course. The course supports teachers developing their 3D skills in SolidWorks while applying theoretical concepts in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) curriculum. Basic math, algebra, geometry, trigonometry and calculus based exercises explore concepts in life science, chemistry, physics and engineering principles.

Once you complete your lessons and the elearning tutorials, submit a lesson of your own to the SolidWorks-STEM community. Download the SolidWorks-Lesson-Template.doc and email the completed lesson to SolidWorks STEM Coordinator, cmorse2@solidworks.com.

Lesson Plan: Water in Tube

Marie Planchard — Thu, 27 Apr 2006 09:32:15 -0400

This lesson develops the water required to fill the glass 16x100mm test tube. Water is a liquid and takes on the same shape the inside of its container. The inside diameter is 14mm. The Fillet radius is 7mm. In a laboratory, the working sample volume of water cannot be the same as the overall height of the test tube (the sample would spill during human or robotic intervention). Create the water as a separate part to fill the glass test tube. Determine the volume of water and its height from the top of the tube.
