Malaria: Evolution and Sexual Reproduction
This lesson involves three scenarios where you calculate the frequencies of the dominant and recessive alleles. You will compare these frequencies for the 3 scenarios and discuss how they changed. Scenario 1 represents where every child survives. Scenario 2 represents students that are homozygous recessive have sickle-cell disease and die. Scenario 3 represents the homozygous recessive kids still die and homozygous dominant individuals have a 50/50 shot of contracting malaria and dying. Students will also be using math calculations with their data.

In this lesson, students are challenged to design and test a windsock that can tell the direction and relative speed of the wind.
This lesson is the second lesson of a two-part series where students investigate concepts of biomimicry and apply them to the real world with issues like resource scarcity. In this lesson, students
Students will explore bird habitats and research how natural and human-caused changes to habitats or climate can impact populations. They will participate in an engineering design challenge to model a
