P1: Matter

The Mystery Box Investigation combines science concepts about properties of matter, how we use and identify matter based on its properties, and the mathematical concepts needed to calculate density

Students will explore the role that decomposers play in the nitrogen cycle. First students will gather information through research and activities to construct a model of the nitrogen cycle. Then

In this lesson, students will incorporate science and math concepts as they investigate properties of matter. They will apply mathematical concepts and formulas in a hands on activity where they

It's 3D printing time! In this lesson, students will design a creation all on their own and input their design into a 3D printing program. They will then print their creations and become a maker!

Students will gather information to develop a model about the essential elements needed by plants in order to grow and survive in this hands-on lesson. They will then apply this knowledge by

Built as a month long, end of year project, students get to discover the water quality of several geographically different natural water sources by completing field research and data collection. As a

In this lesson, students will explore how gravity and the layers of the Earth's crust work together to filter contaminated water. Students will build a water filter and test the water filter with

This lesson, which is a follow up to the lesson about heating, asks students to observe the properties of objects after they have been heated and cooled to draw conclusions about the effects of

Students will use science and engineering practices to design and build a parachute out of everyday items. The parachute must be able to carry a metal washer to a specific target on the ground while
