Students will use the internet to collect data on a given State (or place) for 5 days. They will then make predictions on the weather and how to keep people in that community safe. They will then

Engineers often create small-size models of a new product to test its design. This is especially true with airplanes. Model testing tells engineers how a design responds to different air conditions

Students will read articles that describe hydroponic and aquaponic gardening methods. While reading, students will annotate articles for the characteristics for each gardening type, as well as

Students are asked "What is needed for a plant to survive"? This is the first lesson in a series that will have students thinking critically about what plants need to survive, how different types of

In this lesson students will learn about weathering and erosion. They will also plant seeds to take home and to also grow at school. The lesson title is Gardening from School to Home Lesson #3.
