Lesson
Selective Breeding Lab using Generative AI
Author: Roger Peck
Students learn about genetics and selective breeding and use GenAI to attempt to create images of dogs with specific genetic traits.
Lesson
Designing Buildings to Withstand Earthquakes
Author: Kara Somers
Students use Tinkercad's 3D design tools to create a building and then test how sturdy it is with the earthquake simulater in Tinkercad Sim Lab.

Lesson
Plant Vs. Animal Cells
Author: Hannah Quehl
Students learn about plant and animal cells and how they are different in structure, shape, and function. Students train a teachable machine to tell the difference between a plant cell and an animal cell, and then create their own 3D model in Tinkercad. They will run their created model through the teachable machine to see if the AI can tell which type of cell they created.
Lesson
Designing and Understanding Cell Organelles with Tinkercad
Author: Daniel Schack
This lesson introduces students to the structure and function of cell organelles through hands-on activities using Tinkercad to design 3D models of cells. Students will work in pairs to create accurate and labeled 3D models of either a plant or animal cell.
Lesson
Cancer Diagnosis Using Real Imaging: Image Classification as Mitosis and Non-Mitosis
Author: Daniel Schack
Students learn about mitosis and then train Teachable Machine to distinguish between mitosis and non-mitosis slides using a real dataset.

Lesson
Sonar, Plate Tectonics, and Machine Learning
Author: Natalie Carpenter
Students learn about plate tectonics and sonar in a lab involving ping pong balls and collaborative data collection. They then use Teachable Machine to create an audio model that distinguishes between sounds that are 3ft vs 6ft away.
Lesson
Distinguishing Acids, Bases, and Indicators with Teachable Machine
Author: Daniel Bayah
Integrate teachable machine's computer vision into a traditional acids and bases science lab.
Lesson
Engineering Design Process, Sign Language, and ML
Author: Daniel Schack
Students use their understanding of the engineering and design process to design a teachable machine to translate American Sign Language. Standards alignment: MS-ETS1-1.
Lesson
Predicting Hurricanes with AI and ML
Author: Cassandra Tejeda
Students use a real data set of 10,000 satalite images from after Hurricane Harvey to train a machine learning model to predict flood damage areas

Lesson
Plant leaf identification
Author: Rita Mathew
This lesson focuses on Georgia agriculture and using computer vision to identify plant leaves. Students gain an understanding of image classification algorithms and a practical application in the real world, assisting agriculture. Students use pre-collected samples to train their own model, and can also be guided to take images of leaves in their own gardens, if applicable.
Link to existing images of 5 plants: Weed, Tomato, Mango, Lemon, Basil. Can be used to train a teachable machine model.
Lesson
Translucent, Transparent, and Opaque
Author: Jennifer Deckard
This lesson asks students to learn the differences between translucent, transparent, and opaque materials and how light flows through each. The students partake in a lab where they shift the transparency of water using juice or milk and compare the computer's ability to see through it.

Lesson
Human Vision vs. Computer Vision
Author: Nancy Holt
How is human vision related to computer vision?
Students will be able to compare and contrast how a human eye and a computer camera perceive color. Students investigate and analyze visual illusions using image editing software.
