Earth and Space Science

In this lesson students analyze the relationship between rainfall and tree growth from a sample. They will then graphically model that relationship. This is the 4th lesson in a series of 4. Links to

In this lesson students will gather data about local tree diameters. They will then estimate the approximate age of trees. Students build connections between a tree’s growth and environmental factors

In this lesson, students will explore how biomes differ in different parts of the globe. They will identify differences between biomes and collaborate with peers to gather environmental science data

Students create a stop motion movie that explains a pattern on Earth that is caused by the Earth's rotation and revolution around the sun. Required materials include iPads, construction paper, and

In this fun lesson, students create models of the Earth, sun, moon, and planets that can go on robots. They experiment with light and movement to demonstrate the rotation of sun, earth, and moon using

In this lesson, students will create a model of the solar system by shrinking the dimensions of the distances. Students will read an informational text about the features of the planets and view a

This lesson uses a Modeling Instruction approach to developing the graphical and mathematical relationships for Circular Motion for students in Grades 9-12. Students design an experiment, collect data

This lesson takes place over three hour-long, before- school STEAM club meetings. Students will discuss and learning about weather and climate. Then they will complete an engineering challenge to

In this lesson students are going to learn that our solar system is part of many galaxies within our universe. The materials needed are paper plates, color pencils, scissors, paper, pencils, and iPad
