Students will understand the physics of forces: friction, pulls and pushes by using STEM concepts. This could be an end unit for students to develop and create a culminating STEM project. There are 3
Human cells function best within a specific temperature range. Recent scientific data has shown that extreme high temperatures can have detrimental effects on our cells. In fact, repeated exposure to
Students will design and build a boat for the Gingerbread Man using aluminum foil, straws, and popsicle sticks. They will test and improve their designs while learning about buoyancy and basic
Students will review different types of motion previously learned in Part 1. They will construct, review, and analyze a marble maze including the different types of motion to extend their learning.
Students observe the phenomena of a raisin (a.k.a. sewer slug) moving up and down in a carbonated beverage. By having students collect data and calculate averages, math is brought into this long-time
Students will use the principles invented by Bernoulli and Archimedes to learn about hot air balloons. Then students will create one out of tissue paper and test it!
Students will use Gel Electrophoresis to diagnose the dominant, fatal, genetic disorder of Huntington's Disease, a neurodegenerative disorder caused by an excessive number of CAG repeats in the DNA
Why do different parts of the Phoenix Metropolitan areas have a big difference in rainfall during monsoon days? Discover how the rain shadows of the White Tank Mountains and the McDowell Mountain
