Rainwater Harvesting: Calculating the Water Budget
This is the second lesson in a series of 2. In this lesson, students will learn about what watersheds are and then take a tour of the school campus looking at it through the lens of being a watershed. Students will then determine the square footage of the area in which water will be collected on campus and determine the school garden water budget and practice choosing plants that will not exceed the water budget. Students present their results and critique one another's procedures to determine if water budget is accurate or procedures should be revised.

Students will build and use an anemometer to calculate wind speed and then use the wind speed to determine the affect wind has on temperature and the temperature that you feel (wind chill). Students
This engaging lesson is designed for students to derive the rules for circuits in series by experimenting with different variables in simple circuits in series using the PhET DC Electricity simulation
