Brewing Up An Argument in Physical Science
This STEM lesson takes place in a science classroom after students have explored the differences between substances (in the solid, liquid, and gas states), and energy transfer. It is intended to last one hour. Students are encouraged to work creatively in small groups of two to four. An emphasis is placed on two aspects of the lesson:
*The target EDM product (building a free-standing thermometer to measure liquid’s temperature)
*Introduction of the C.E.R. process in science (Claim, Evidence, Reasoning that leads to making inferences and drawing conclusions)

Students will build an ice snowman and a house for him to live in. They will collaborate to design a structure to keep him from melting. This project uses basic materials to study insulation and
As an intro to Thermal Energy, students are challenged to create a warmer that will keep my coffee warm. Students project will be tested in class, data will be collected, compared, and graphed.
In this 7 week unit, students will utilize resources around them to create a garden for a culminating taco party! Students will work on science, math, and ELA within the unit. Feel free to host this
