Can a water fountain be solar powered? YES! In this engaging lesson, students will engineer a solar powered water fountain to show how energy transformed and transferred throughout their system. Each

Over 2 days (60 min or more each day), students create a catapult out of jumbo popsicle sticks, a water bottle cap and rubber bands. The challenge is for students to launch their snowball (cotton ball

In this engaging lesson, students work together to design a water filtration system to separate pollutants from water. This lesson takes about 120 minutes to complete. Various resources are included!

Students are actively engaged in this creative lesson where they use their genetics knowledge to construct a game for others to play! They will use a Punnett Square and other genetic terminology as

In this lesson students will explore engineering skills in the construction of hot air balloons. They will test their creations to see if they will fly/float and make adjustments if needed.

It's time to lay down roots in this hands-on lesson! Students will construct a model of plant roots using Play-Doh. They will explain the different parts of a plant and the different roles the parts

In this hands-on lesson, students will work together to build a system where energy is transferred between objects for as long as possible (i.e. Newton’s Cradle). Students continue the work that began

This is part one of a design challenge where students are asked to brainstorm a device that allows energy to be transferred for as long as possible, similar to a Newton's Cradle. Students use the
