This lesson is the first of two about vermicomposting. It explains what vermicomposting is and how to start a worm bin. The second lesson will discuss harvesting compost and moving worms to a garden
Students examine the relationship between a ball's bounce height and its drop height to see a linear relationship. They then calculate the slope of their data to compare "bounciness" with other groups
Students think about dipping a cube in paint, then count the amount of faces that are painted (either 1, 2, 3, or none) they then make a table with the data and are asked to find any patterns they may
Students will construct paper bridges with pennies acting as weight to see the proportionality between the amount of pennies it takes to collapse the bridge. Students graph their results to see a
It is a lesson that is based on Mathematical computation and Project based learning. Students have to find the proportional relationship between the surface area of the house and the paint to be used
My Simple Vibrobots is an activity that takes place in the classroom. Students may be grouped by 4-6 members to produce designs for 3 vibrobots which can move faster, stand upright and less or no
This lesson is from Arizona Game and Fish Department. The lesson has students look at data on elk-vehicle collisions on State Route 260. The road is being widened to a two-lane divided road with elk
This lesson helps kids have an understanding of how our eyes capture light. A camera captures pictures of objects using a similar way so in this experiment, kids will be making a camera using simple
In this lesson, students begin to develop questions about what is being wasted in our school. It could be waste during lunch or waste as an overall school. Students will conduct an investigation
An introduction to Newton's Laws of Motion. Students will utilize two or three options to move a balloon across a tethered line. Students will compare and contrast two different size balloons moving
This is a week-long unit which includes the following lesson objectives: -Explain that a watershed is an area that collects water and delivers it to a specific area like a lake or an ocean. -Show how
In this lesson students will be able to make their own slime using chemistry and chemical reactions then use their slime as a model for fractions while reading a short story called, "Slimey is Half."
The students design and test a catapult using simple materials like popsicle sticks and rubber bands. They learn about the history of catapults and also about the physical science concepts related to
This is an activity to enhance student understanding and comfort with taking photographs, editing them, providing feedback on them, and submitting them for display. Students use a camera device (iPad
In the final part of A Light in the Dark (pt. 3 of 3), students create their solution to the problem based on their chosen theme. Students present their final solutions to be evaluated.
In this continuation of A Light in the Dark (pt. 2 of 3), students research their questions and consolidate their learning, then determine their next steps in the process to solve the problem.
This lesson introduces the unit exploring light pollution and possible solutions students can create. Students will explore what light pollution is. Students will determine next steps in the process.
