Engineering Greenhouse Design
~Students apply the engineering design process as they learn the advantages and disadvantages of the greenhouse effect.
~Students will work collaboratively to construct a miniature greenhouse to understand how their designs incorporate the processes of heat transfer within a controlled environment.
~Students will collect, record and graph data over time as they compare the inside temperature of their greenhouse to outside.
~Lesson includes extension options in addition to community connection opportunities (University of Arizona's Controlled Environment Agriculture Center as well as Biosphere 2).

In this engaging lesson, students will research and design rhythm sticks. They will use them in music and PE class to exercise and create music with. This hands-on lesson incorporates multiple areas
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
Rad Roller Coasters Part 2 comes at the end of our paper roller coaster project. Students will collect data on their coaster and use that to calculate velocity, potential energy and kinetic energy
