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 lesson is part one of four lessons, which will culminate in the flight of drones built by the students. Lesson 1: SOAR focuses on social-emotional learning (SEL), noticing and wondering, and the
Students will use published scientific data and current evidence to identify the phenomenon known an urban heat island effect. Students will first analyze temperature data as well as land-use data
Arizona Animal Crossing
In this lesson, students use the engineering process to solve a real-world problem along the I-10 in Arizona. Students analyze data about roadkill along a particular stretch on the I-10 just outside
