Using my backyard chickens as inspiration, this 5th grade lesson asks children to graph egg production and build a model of a chicken coop and run.
Students will explore mathematical rules for combining fractions with unlike denominators by modeling equivalent resistance calculations for resistors wired in parallel electrical circuits. Using a
Students will work on this research project to learn about animal migration. They will research environmental factors that may influence the migration of specific animals and use it to create an
This two day Mini-Unit will take students through observations of cats and their own physical characteristics. Students will graph data and potentially create a bar graph to reflect their observations
The lesson plan goes beyond the conventional boundaries of art and science, highlighting the interdisciplinary nature of these fields. Students will discover the synergies between art (A) and STEM
Students will learn about the relationships between traits of humans and animals. They will use real examples to relate their vocabulary to their everyday lives and then put it into practice by
Students will continue to learn about the mining process and will get the chance to do some mining in this lesson. They will get to determine the best area to mine using core samples. Students will
In this four-day lesson, students will be assigned a specific pollinator. They will research the pollinator and the plants which it pollinates. Then, they will create a puppet and props to model the
By the end of this lesson, students will understand the unique adaptations of desert tortoises and the importance of conserving their habitat. Students also engineer a habitat for the desert tortoise.
In this lesson, students cover concepts like states of matter and chemical changes. Students will apply these concepts to an activity where they will make fake snow. Students will be challenged to
Students will be paired up, or a group of three if one odd number, and create a Mom and Dad creature with Dominant and Recessive Traits that get passed on to two offspring through the flipping of a
In this lesson plan, students will use Tinkercad to create a representation of a fraction in 3D. After, they will team up with other students to find the sum of the two fractions.
In this project students will be creating an agricultural community display. Students will need to create a proposal letter first to secure funding. Then they will create a blueprint that needs to be
In this lesson, students will apply the knowledge of calculating volume to determine the amount of soil they need to fill their planters. They will also use their skills to multiply and divide the
This is a series of lessons that discusses the process and factors that may affect and may not affect seed germination. This also builds the background of the students about the needs of the plants
Students will begin the year working with a hydroponics system to observe plant growth. To start the students will be given a seedling and determine what the plant is as it goes through the life cycle
This lesson is designed for students to explore the idea of natural selection using a popular food item: goldfish crackers! Students explore the idea that populations of organisms can be affected by
Students are left stranded on an alien planet and must wait for rescue. In the meantime they have found some valuable resources from a previous space craft crash. Students encounter the aliens and are
With the cereal box the students created in lesson 1, they will design and create a new cereal. They can create a logo and an advertising plan.
Students will create a geometric net to estimate how many cheerios will fit in the cube. They will use volume to create a real sized cereal box that they can fit 100 cheerios into without having lots
Students explore genetics and create a model to represent how genes are passed down from a parent plant to an offspring plant. This lesson could be adapted to address 1st Grade Life Science Standard
