In this lesson, students explore glow-in-the-dark materials using regular flashlights and UV flashlights. They then add phosphorescence and the emission of EM energy to previous models of light and
This lesson provides students with examples of the different types of plate boundaries, the movement at each type, and the driving mechanism for the phenomenon. It includes a hands-on activity in
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
Students start to build 3d models of the entire farm or a smaller, more detailed area. Students continue to focus on ratios, volume, and nets while combating the environmental effects of farming.
In this lesson students will create a model to investigate how a location's temperature may change during an El Niño year. Students will construct landforms in a tray and then fill the tray with water
In this lesson, students will be given a region where they will need to research and collect data with their groups to determine patterns and formulate predications about the types of disasters that
Students will learn about the history of the National Parks Service and the different biomes and environments within the United States. Then, they will choose a National Park to research and present a
Students will build the distance formula in a spreadsheet to create a sort of "calculator." Students begin by comparing standard math notation with spreadsheets, then practice programming simple math
~Students apply the engineering design process as they learn the advantages and disadvantages of the greenhouse effect. ~Students will work collaboratively to construct a miniature greenhouse to
Oil Spill; Students are challenged to clean up an oil spill in a river environment. Students create the river environment in a container and add water, plants, sand, and animals. They will spill 1/4
This design challenge was open for any interested students from grades 9-12. Students met afterschool over the course of the second semester. This is the 3rd sequence lesson in a set of 4. This lesson
In this 7 week unit, students will utilize resources around them to create a garden for a culminating taco party! Students will work on science, math, and ELA within the unit. Feel free to host this
Students will be identifying the unknown minerals by looking at cleavage, fracture, luster, streak, hardness, and density. This is a hands on activity where students will place their data on a data
The lesson covers the definition of a mountain, how continent boundaries are determined (specifically in reference to Europe and Asia), how we measure the baseline of a mountain, and finally the
Why do you think you use more or less water than the national average? Why do you think you use more or less water than people in other nations?
In this lesson, students will read about volcanoes (using teacher chosen books and Readworks.org passages) as well as watch videos to see them in real life. They will then create their own volcano and
Students will identify the most common types of volcanoes, analyze how volcanoes are formed, share with groups to compare design ideas, and demonstrate how to test our volcanoes for effectiveness.
This lesson discusses winter weather and snow. We will create a recipe for “snow” following step by step directions that includes an addition math problem. Student will be responsible for measuring
Objective - Design and build a piece of furniture out of cardboard. Some criteria and constraints to think about: -The piece of furniture must start from the ground while in use (i.e. chair, coffee
In this lesson, students will design and test solutions to protect their homes during monsoon flooding.
Students will learn about plate tectonics and model their new knowledge with food!
Students get hands on learning about 2D cross sections of 3D objects.
Students will use technology (or paper/ pencil) to create a monster using specific polygons. They will measure and describe their monster to a partner who will then re-create that monster based on the
In this lesson students will gather information about human consumption of Earth's resources. The students will then use this information to develop an argument about how human consumption of Earth's
