Graphing Daylight
In this engaging lesson, students will use an online seasons simulation to explore how direct and indirect sunlight influence the seasons. They will graph daylight hours from cities located in different parts of the world using Google Sheets. Students will then analyze this data and look for patterns based on the location of the city on the globe.

Students will use empty soda bottles and a heat lamp to model the greenhouse effect that is essential for life on Earth. They will collect data and use it to create a graph of their findings.
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
