Does Light Have Energy?
Does light have energy? In this lesson, students will engage in a practical experiment to witness how light can induce changes such as heating, altering colors, and setting objects in motion.
As homework, students will respond to statements in an Anticipation Guide, designed to gauge their existing knowledge about light, which they will revisit periodically in the course of this lesson (and unit). The central goal of this lesson is to provide students with an opportunity to articulate their initial thoughts and cultivate an understanding that light is a carrier of energy.

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 are challenged to design and test a windsock that can tell the direction and relative speed of the wind.
After completing a unit on weather, students will be challenged to research, design, construct and attach a snow plow to their Edison robot. Then they will create a scratch code that will navigate
