Saltwater vs. Freshwater
In this lesson students will show the proportion of freshwater compared to saltwater on Earth.
Students will define the problem of having a limited amount of fresh water using evidence gathered from research. They will engineer a device that can change saltwater into freshwater. Students will show their understanding and create models based on their understanding that matter is made of particles that are too small to be seen by the human eye.

Students will investigate the properties of different types of matter and apply the concept of "P1: Matter" to design, model, and 3D print an object using a MakerBot 3D printer. Hands-On STEM Design
In this hands-on engineering and science project, students will become earthquake engineers tasked with designing and constructing earthquake-proof structures using toothpicks and mini marshmallows
In this multi-day lesson, students will learn about prosthetics, design and build a model of a prosthetic limb, research prosthetics today and then have a Socratic Seminar to both share and debate
