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
Problem - Solution is a type of text structure. The objective of this lesson is for students to further understand defining problems and identifying solutions. Students will make a 3D model using
Students will build an ice snowman and a house for him to live in. They will collaborate to design a structure to keep him from melting. This project uses basic materials to study insulation and
