A lesson on what diabetes is, what is the difference between Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes, creating a food diary, how the sugar gets into cells, how to count carbs, how people with Type 1 diabetes
Student will be able to compare the energy content of two common fuels used for energy production (ethanol and kerosene). Students will work with a partner to investigate the efficiency and
This is the first of two lessons. The focus is to engage students in the hands-on activity of growing corn in water and study the germination process. Students will discuss and learn about the
This set of lessons allows students to model the decay chains of radioactive isotopes and relate the mathematical patterns and scientific concepts together in a innovative and interactive way.
Students will go through the engineering design process to come up with a product that will solve a real life problem. By the end of the unit, students will design their product, make their product
This hands on activity uses calorimetry to determine the calorie content of snack food. Different samples of snack foods are burned and the temperature change of surrounding water is measured. This
This lesson introduces students to coding with Edison Robots and EdScratch. The coding skills that are required for this lesson are basic, and will help students complete Part 2 of this lesson "Animal
Students will research, design and build a treehouse using the engineering design process. They will practice budgeting by pretending to have $100 to spend by using a supply budget sheet. Students
This lesson is an introduction to Micro:bit. Students will learn parts of the device, as well as how to program and download a simple dice randomizer. Once the program is downloaded to the microbit
Calculating Moles to gram of multiple different compounds to make playdough. Includes easy and advanced practice problems (with answers) and teacher background knowledge. Basic easy ingredients are
Lesson explores compounds, mixtures and solutions, defining each and what distinguishes them from each other. Students complete a lab as an introduction, use a PowerPoint to refine their knowledge and
This lesson is intended to be the second lesson within a series. After the first lesson, exploring the transfer of power within a system, Students utilize this lesson, lesson 2, to explain how and
This lesson allows students to visualize the vast scale and immense sizes of object in the solar system. This activity can be calibrated by the math levels of your students, so they are not left
In this lesson, students use the Kepler’s Laws PhET Simulation to collect data on the period and average radius of the planetary orbits. They graph and analyze that data to derive Kepler’s 3rd Law.
Students will be exploring the different structure and functions of both plants and animals. After some researching and hands on activities students will create a glider inspired by a bird of their
I use this lesson as a fun activity to visualize unit conversions and the immense scale of the universe. I love this lesson because I find it challenging to teach unit conversions with hands-on
Students will learn about engineering design and redesign. Students will collaborate and communicate effectively with their peers to plan and design a boat structure. They will build a clay and paper
This lesson is part of a project to isolate bacteria from soil and test it for antibiotic activity. This can be the start of the project or you can do lesson 1 soil microbes first. Though you do have
An introduction to Kepler's 1st Law and ellipses. The lesson includes some guided notes for students as well as a hands on activity where students will draw, measure, explore, and conduct calculations
