Volume Zoo Project
This is a four part STEM project that incorporates several of the fifth grade math & science standards. Time allowance is one-two weeks. Students are given the opportunity to research an animal (preferably an endangered species). They are then to partner with another student and decide which animal they would like to build out of boxes, essentially creating a "piñata". Once constructed students should work together to calculate the volume of each body part and the total volume of their animal determining how much candy would fit inside. As a fourth part, students can create a five page slideshow and share a five minute presentation on their research.

This is a series of lessons where students will observe natural activities in the garden for five days. From the observation, they will identify the factors that have high probability of causing
In this lesson, students begin to develop questions about what is being wasted in our school. It could be waste during lunch or waste as an overall school. Students will conduct an investigation
Students will design a balloon rocket. They will then create a fish line track for the rocket to follow. The track will be able to me modified to test different angles of ascent. This will allow
