A look at all of the anatomy homeostatic responses that the body has. Each section has a lab or calculations

This hands-on lesson introduces students to gardening and the sustainability of food. Students will grow small gardens and manage them.

A lesson on what diabetes is, what is the difference between Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes, creating a food diary, how the sugar gets into cells, how to count carbs, how people with Type 1 diabetes

A look at the effects of dehydration and over hydration on the body and electrical conductivity of the heart. A look at what electrolytes are, basic heart rhythms seen on an EKG and how the heart

With this hands-on lesson, students will compare and contrast the growth of plants cultivated in an SPV lab environment with those grown in natural sunlight, understanding the impact of light sources

In this primary Kindergarten-1st grade STEM lesson, students will learn to define algorithm, bug, and debug in reference to programming. Through engagement with a virtual simulation, students will

Students read the story "Just a Second" to introduce students to geologic time. Next, they are given an activity to understand how long is 4.6 billion years. Then students complete a lab that allows

Student will be able to compare the energy content of two common fuels used for energy production (ethanol and kerosene). Students will work with a partner to investigate the efficiency and

Students will explore mathematical rules for combining fractions with unlike denominators by modeling equivalent resistance calculations for resistors wired in parallel electrical circuits. Using a

This is the first of two lessons. The focus is to engage students in the hands-on activity of growing corn in water and study the germination process. Students will discuss and learn about the

This set of lessons allows students to model the decay chains of radioactive isotopes and relate the mathematical patterns and scientific concepts together in a innovative and interactive way.

Over the course of the next 15 days, students will have the opportunity to create a sourdough starter using a one of six different flours provided. This lesson focuses on one of the data collection

In this lesson, students uses a PhET simulation to investigate the types of energy and its conservation. They then perform an actual experiment to prove or disprove their findings from the simulation.

Get ready to engage with some hands-on activities that will illustrate the mechanics of calculating both kinetic and potential energy and unravel the equations for these essential parts of physics.

Students will go through the engineering design process to come up with a product that will solve a real life problem. By the end of the unit, students will design their product, make their product

The quintessential chemistry lab, Flame Test Lab! Students will use spectroscopes to identify the component photons of light that are emitted from Spectrum Tubes and Flame Tests. Students will learn

Students will discover the Empirical Formula for the synthesis of Magnesium and Oxygen through a laboratory experiment in which they will react Magnesium Ribbon with atmospheric Oxygen by super

This hands on activity uses calorimetry to determine the calorie content of snack food. Different samples of snack foods are burned and the temperature change of surrounding water is measured. This

This lesson introduces students to coding with Edison Robots and EdScratch. The coding skills that are required for this lesson are basic, and will help students complete Part 2 of this lesson "Animal

Students will apply STEM principles to design and build a working circuit in the shape of a heart, incorporating science concepts, technology tools, engineering skills, and mathematical calculations.

In this lesson, students will learn about and discuss the life cycle of a butterfly. They will then get 10 shapes total from the teacher (circles and squares). They will use their math skills to make

Students will research, design and build a treehouse using the engineering design process. They will practice budgeting by pretending to have $100 to spend by using a supply budget sheet. Students

This lesson is an introduction to Micro:bit. Students will learn parts of the device, as well as how to program and download a simple dice randomizer. Once the program is downloaded to the microbit

In this lesson students learn about the simple machine screw, specifically the Archimedes Screw, and engineer a device that can lift a marble.
