Unit

Electric Crystals: Exploring how crystal symmetry can power everyday life

Grades

6, 7, 8

Crystals aren't magic, but they are amazing! In this student-driven, lecture-free lesson, students will do card sorts, build hands-on models, solve engineering design puzzles, and more! The whole experience is connected through a beautifully crafted comic and supporting videos.
