Amazing Matter!
Students are introduced to the idea that matter is made up of tiny particles called atoms and molecules. In this lesson, students will determine the difference between the three states of matter; solid, liquid, and gas. They will discover their molecular structure, how properties are just the physical descriptions of matter, the fact that molecules are substances made up of atoms bonded together, and how an atom is the smallest unit of a chemical element, the purest form a substance can take. Students will design and engineer a model, detailing different kinds and amounts of atoms found in their molecules, distinguish the atoms included in a molecule, and how they are bonded together to determine the type of molecule that is formed.

This lesson is part 1 of 2. This lesson is set up to have students explore the friction bridge designed by Leonardo Da Vinci. Students first discover the inventor and become familiar with his life
Students will create a Google slideshow presentation to document their progress through the engineering design process, which includes: researching the science of sound, then creating an instrument
Radioactive Orbs
This lesson focuses on using the engineering design process and simple machines to design a device that the students can use to safely transport radioactive orbs across the span of 8 feet. Students
