In this 7 week unit, students will utilize resources around them to create a garden for a culminating taco party! Students will work on science, math, and ELA within the unit. Feel free to host this
Students are presented with a real-world problem, the newly poured delivery ramp for the cafeteria is too slick, students are tasked with suggesting a surfacing that will increase the ramp's safety
Students will design and build their own popsicle stick catapults, exploring principles of force, motion, and engineering. This lesson does have a Halloween theme to it, but can be modified is needed.
