Ripples of Change: Investigating Elements Impacting Sea Level Rise and Mitigations
Students will use evidence from an investigation to model and explain how thermal expansion of land and sea ice impact the sea level. They will quantify the impact of land ice melt and thermal expansion on sea level using mathematical reasoning to communicate the significance of ice melt percent change and through graphical analysis. Finally, students will design and build a model of a coastal structure that can withstand the impact of rising sea levels due to land ice melt and thermal expansion.

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
In this unit, students will use their knowledge of weather and climate patterns to construct, place, and collect data from a rain gauge for one month. The beginning of the school year would be the
This hands-on lesson is for the use of a hydroponic system. Tower gardens were the systems used, however, if budget is a concern, there is a very affordable option in the plan as well using tanks
