3. Knowledge Constructor

Does light have energy? Students will engage in a practical experiment to witness how light can induce changes such as heating, altering colors, and setting objects in motion. As homework, students

This is the third lesson in a 4-lesson unit about the physics of bat and ball style games. Students will explore force, motion, kinetic energy and potential energy through projects and gameplay. In

This lesson is about exploring Arizona's state bird, the cactus wren, that lives in the desert, has special body parts and behaviors that help it survive in its harsh environment. Students will learn

Students will investigate the properties of different types of matter and apply the concept of "P1: Matter" to design, model, and 3D print an object using a MakerBot 3D printer. Hands-On STEM Design

In this lesson, students will research information to describe climates in different regions of the world. Then students will design a prototype of different tools used in understanding climate.

This epic road trip is an end-of-year project where students are given the opportunity to reflect on their learning and select 6 unique stops in Arizona that a tourist should visit. Students are led

This hands-on lesson helps students understand the properties of 3D solids from their 2D base shapes and teaches them how to use CAD software to build their own 3D models of real-world objects by

This lesson is a 6-14 day unit consisting of 30 minute lessons taking students through the introduction of energy flow from the sun through the food chain. The lessons culminate with students showing

Students get to investigate how energy transfers using different phenomena. They practice using a Colorado PhET simulation on the differences between potential and kinetic energy. Students will
