Wild Robot Literacy PBL Unit Plan
Using The Wild Robot by Peter Brown as provocation, students will develop a project integrating math, science, engineering and ELA standards. Students will build a robot prototype and take it through several design changes as the story in the book progresses. They will learn about animal adaptations, prosthetic limbs, area and perimeter, and context clues.

Day 1 of a 4 day unit (with an optional day 5) on hydroponics, urban farming and vertical farming. Students will learn about hydroponics used on the International Space Station and vertical farming
In the unit, students will identify ways abiotic and biotic components work together in an ecosystem and what happens when it's disrupted through a analyzing wildlife roadkill in Arizona. Students
This is the first lesson in a series of four that are designed to help guide students to design and implement their own independent STEM research project.
