Students will design and construct a prototype of a tiny house on wheels. They will use graph paper to draw out their ideal tiny house on wheels, ensuring the sizing of the rooms and ceilings are
Students will create flying helicopter models to change the movement and motion by changing different variables. Changing the movement of an object requires a net force to act upon it. This lesson
Using the engineering design process, students will identify a structural or spatial problem on their school campus and then plan, design, evaluate and redesign a structural and spatial solution while
This project will be an opportunity for students to demonstrate their understanding of cell structures and functions in a creative, collaborative way that will require critical thinking. Students will
In this four-day lesson, students will be assigned a specific pollinator. They will research the pollinator and the plants which it pollinates. Then, they will create a puppet and props to model the
In this lesson students will use everything they've done in parts 1-3 to analyze how mutations affect proteins. Students will build the mutated proteins that they sequenced in part 3. They will test
In this lesson, students will be introduced to mutations in DNA. They will create beaded or illustrated "codes" to represent 5 different mutations to their original protein codes. These codes will be
In this lesson students will continue to learn about protein synthesis. At the beginning of this lesson students should know that genes have the code to make proteins. Today they will be introduced to
In this lesson students are introduced to the idea that DNA is the code to create proteins and that proteins can be structural or functional. Students are given a problem to create a model of a
