You've crash-landed on an alien planet and must find a way to survive with the help of native flora and fauna. Students will document alien life-forms in a field journal and use that information to
Students are introduced to a project that asks them to use classroom materials to create a new form of vision technology. Students review how the eye works, create a plan, and share that plan with
In this lesson, students will discuss where invasive species come from and their impacts on the ecosystems in which they are found. In groups, students will research invasive species common in the
This lesson plan will allow students to explore the use of a PhET simulation in creating a series and parallel circuit, then apply this knowledge in creating a real circuit. Students will also learn
Students will apply their knowledge of food chains within ecosystems to the design of a mandala. This lesson will combine science, visual art and geometry. First, students will get a review of food
In this lesson students explore the relationship between pigmentation and light absorbance. Students will use a spectrophotometer to analyze pigment samples and record the absorption spectrum for
This lesson discusses and gives you a more in-depth understanding of the relationship of particles that are held together by a certain amount of energy. The energy is required to break bonds and the
This lesson give emphasis on the systems A and B of the chemical reaction that represent the reactants and products. This also focuses on investigating not just the system involved in the chemical
Students will engage in a phenomena based lab in which they simulate relative dating of sedimentary rocks, an earthquake and volcanic eruption. In the lab, students will see how the layers at the
This is the second lesson of four in a native plant garden design challenge. In this lesson, students will learn about what watersheds are and then take a tour of the school campus looking at it
This is the first lesson in a set of four where students work to design a native plant garden using rainwater harvesting principles. In this first lesson, students learn about the ongoing water crisis
Students use Google Earth Timelapse to observe changes to glaciers over time before completing an investigation on the effects of melting sea ice and land ice on global sea level rise.
This lesson uses a Modeling Instruction approach to experimental design and analysis leading students to develop the graphical and mathematical relationships for accelerated motion, or kinematics.
This is a two-day introductory lab exercise using video analysis to derive the equations that govern projectile motion. It employs elements of Modeling Instruction to engage students in doing science.
This is a lesson that engages students to critically read informational text, construct an argument with evidence, and engage in academic discourse about the nature, living or non-living, of viruses
Students get to discover the relationship between solutes and solvents in relation to concentration. As an inquiry based lab, students will mix their own concentrations of Kool-Aid or other powdered
Today students will design a mini golf hole. Their hole theme should be based on the inventor they researched.
In this lesson, students will collect flower and leaf samples from around their school campus and return to the lab to conduct chromatography to separate pigments in their samples. Students will learn
Growing Crystals Part 2 is a unique lesson that has an emphasis on the synthetic growing of crystals in the laboratory. This activity also focuses on investigating the process of how synthetic
GROWING CRYSTALS PART 1, A lesson that focuses on the different types of formation of crystalline solid, its properties and the attractive forces responsible to it during chemical bonding. It is
Students will learn the factors that cause climate change. They will learn that the increase in temperature can affect human populations.
In this lesson plan the students learn to design, construct and determine weight loads capabilities for their project.
This lesson plan focuses on the use of several materials to create a rocket and a launcher. Remodel the rocket as needed to validate Newton’s third law of motion and projectile motion.
Students calculate the Pythagorean Theorem using the Grid Edison Robot Mat. They discover that the shortest distance is the straight line from point to point. The numbers obtained are then used to
