In this engaging and hands-on lesson, students will examine the Gold King Mine spill on the Animas River in Colorado before creating a model watershed in order to develop an explanation of human

I can use the engineering process to create a shock absorbing system that will protect two “astronauts” in a lander as it is dropped from various heights on the moon.

In this lesson, students will design and build a birdhouse from everyday materials. Allow at least 4 days to complete this lesson. This is the final lesson of the American Kestrel Unit.
