Activities for Research, Design & Development
by:
Curtis Green  Waxahachie High School

Course Description - A research activity course designed to provide an opportunity for research, design, and development activities in one or more of the technology systems of bio-related technology; communication; computer applications; construction; energy, power, and transportation; and manufacturing. Students pursue new knowledge and solve real-world problems. Activities include research, data collection, problem-solving, designing, and developing prototypes and working models. 

Organizational Structure: The activities are divided up by nine week grading periods and sub divided by activity. Example the first nine weeks activities will be called Activity 1 followed by the letter of that activity such as Activity 1A. This follows for each nine weeks, for example the third activity for the fourth nine weeks would be Activity 4C.

Format: I have converted all activities to a web format.  This should ease the problem of different software conflicts.  I will continue to post activities as I re-write them.

Please Note: These activities were designed to be used on a PC.
