Students will explore the role that decomposers play in the nitrogen cycle. First students will gather information through research and activities to construct a model of the nitrogen cycle. Then
Guiding questions: How can we as a class ensure that students at our school are able to make decisions about what they eat & what journey their food takes before it gets on the plate?
3D Science lesson about the structure and function of plant leaves, and how plants convert light energy into food energy.
Have you ever wondered how ducks stay warm and dry while swimming in cold water?
In this lesson, students will learn about the impacts foods waste has on our planet and how composting can help reverse those impacts.
Students will gather information to develop a model about the essential elements needed by plants in order to grow and survive. The students will then apply this knowledge by conducting an
How could a zombie outbreak happen? In this lab, students will observe how quickly an unknown disease can spread by mixing water from a cup with their peers' water. Contaminated students have iodine
This is a fun lesson that will get a taste test at the end! Students will work through the scientific process and watch these seeds sprout RIGHT in the classroom.
Students will plant seeds and measure their plant growth over time. They will record their data in a chart and create a line plot and bar graph to visually represent collected data.
This lesson allows students to create their own ecosystem to gain a better understanding of how each part works with each other and why they are so important.
In this lesson on Genetic Variations, Inheritance, and Natural Selection, students will explore how genetic variations occur in offspring through the inheritance of traits or mutations. They will also
In this lesson, students are introduced to a crime scene where they must work in groups and rotate through four stations to solve the murder of Geoffry Dormer. The stations include fingerprint
This lesson is an introduction to the parts of a plant and how the parts help the plant get nutrients for grades K-2. Students will have an opportunity to plant and care for a plant at the end of the
This is a lesson plan about creating a vermicomposting bin. This explains how vermicomposting helps in keeping the environment clean and also how it helps create rich soil which is important for
This STEM lesson focused on plant parts and plant growth. This correlates with AZ 4th grade standards. Students will read Seeds of Change, design a simple hydroponic system and plant seeds. Lesson
Go through different STEM, reading, and writing activities with Roz and her friends in The Wild Robot. Students will problem solve, participate in discussions, and learn about artificial intelligence
Students will be able to code a simple program using EdScratch in order to survive in the ecosystem by avoiding their predators. Using Edison as an animal in the food chain, students will be able to
Students will be able to code a simple program using EdScratch in order to survive in the ecosystem by finding the sources of food. Using Edison as an animal in the food chain, students will be able
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
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
In this parts of a plant lesson students will be able to identify and describe the basic parts of a plant. Students will learn about seeds, roots, stems, leaves, flowers and fruit. Epics books will be
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
Student Objectives: Your challenge is to thoroughly research real-world oil spills and what has worked to help clean them up in the past, then engineer your own prototype boom to clean up a simulated
Students take plants that they have already sprouted from seed in prior lessons and now will investigate how that plant changes when basic needs are blocked. Students create a dark box maze and
