This lesson plan provides material for two 90-minute periods. Day one provides guided opportunities to explore chemical equations and day two consists of 10 hands-on stations practicing and applying

Students will create an inclined plane using Pythagorean Theorem and will experiment with rolling objects and try to find a solution to reduce the speed through friction, or air resistance or weight.

Methane emissions are far more potent then CO2 emissions in the short-run in the atmosphere yet this is rarely covered in the media. Students will create a multi-media public service campaign to cover

In 5th grade Social Studies we learn about the American Revolution and study evidence of Espionage used by the Patriots to win the Revolution. Prior to the activity students will read a variety of

This is the final lesson in a set of 4 (total) lessons. This is when students will be reviewing the information from planting and the first observation day. Students will begin logging and comparing

Students will be read the book: "Oh Say Can You Seed?" by Bonnie Worth and Aristides Ruiz Students will learn new vocabulary for the parts of a flowering plant and identify parts together. Students

Students will brainstorm, and make predictions of why an airplane can fly. The teacher will present the knowledge of aerodynamics to the students using video , and giving them opportunity to process

Students will continue from their research and start an investigation to help with their solution. They will first learn about compost and what it does. They will then develop and investigation and

This lesson is can be used to help introduce the idea of climate change as part of a unit on human impacts on the environment.

In this lesson, students use the engineering process to solve a real-world problem along the I-10 in Arizona. Students analyze data about roadkill along a particular stretch on the I-10 just outside

This lesson shows how matter can be subdivided into particles too small to be seen by creating ice cream in a bag from measured ingredients.

Students will use published scientific data and current evidence to identify the phenomenon known an urban heat island effect. Students will first analyze temperature data as well as land-use data

Students create mini compost bins with Red Wigglers to assign an energy role to the worms. Students build the worm bin, and then collect data for several weeks so that they can learn hands-on what

In this lesson students will evaluate if mass affects the velocity of an object when dropped from a certain height.
