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.

Quail Farming
Students will learn about the three pillars of sustainability through their quail farm. They will incubate, raise and restock their quails in order for them to be sustainable regardless of what
This is a lesson involving math, science, and engineering. Students are also required to write a reflection paragraph. Students will use a scale to create a scale drawing of a sustainable house that
~Students apply the engineering design process as they learn the advantages and disadvantages of the greenhouse effect. ~Students will work collaboratively to construct a miniature greenhouse to
