Design a Mouse House
Students will use the story "The Mice Who Lived in a Shoe" to design and build a new house for the mice. They will work collaboratively to complete this project. The house will have to protect the mice inside from sunlight, wind, and rain. They will test their designs and communicate their findings with the class. This lesson goes along with Open Court ELA curriculum for 2nd grade.

In this engaging lesson, students will develop an understanding of how solar panels convert sunlight into electrical energy. They will investigate factors affecting the amount of electricity generated
Students will build and use an anemometer to calculate wind speed and then use the wind speed to determine the affect wind has on temperature and the temperature that you feel (wind chill). Students
In this lesson, students create paper rockets and measure the distance launched. Students are using the engineering design process and are provided time to modify their design in order to increase the
