Gummy Greenhouse Gasses
Got gumdrops? Then you can build models of molecules. Molecules are tiny structures that make up just about all matter—including you! Molecules themselves are made of atoms, the basic building blocks of matter.
Using just four kinds of atoms as building blocks, you can construct many different types of molecules. In this project, you will build models of some gas molecules. These kinds of gas molecules are part of the air. They are called greenhouse gases. Students will have hands-on practice building these molecules.

Radioactive Orbs
This lesson focuses on using the engineering design process and simple machines to design a device that the students can use to safely transport radioactive orbs across the span of 8 feet. Students
Students will read and respond to the story, Room on the Broom. Then students will plan and create a sturdy broom to hold as many pumpkin candies as possible.
Students will use geometric reasoning and the engineering design process to construct solar ovens while learning about renewable energy.
