Brewing Up An Argument in Physical Science
This STEM lesson takes place in a science classroom after students have explored the differences between substances (in the solid, liquid, and gas states), and energy transfer. It is intended to last one hour. Students are encouraged to work creatively in small groups of two to four. An emphasis is placed on two aspects of the lesson:
*The target EDM product (building a free-standing thermometer to measure liquid’s temperature)
*Introduction of the C.E.R. process in science (Claim, Evidence, Reasoning that leads to making inferences and drawing conclusions)

This is a multiple-day lesson plan based on Newton's 3 Laws of Motion. Students begin the lesson by collecting data observing coins moving across a table. After making the observations, students will
In this activity, students read about discovering energy and the impact encountered by ships at sea. Students will have the opportunity to read about how lighthouses can solve those problems and
~Students apply the engineering design process as they learn the advantages and disadvantages of the greenhouse effect. ~Students will work collaboratively to construct a miniature greenhouse to
