In this engaging lesson, students will use an online seasons simulation to explore how direct and indirect sunlight influence the seasons. They will graph daylight hours from cities located in

In groups students will construct a roller coaster made completely out of paper that a marble can travel on. The goal is to have the "ride" last for a longer time than other and be able to explain the

Summary: Students are coding and observing robots to try and determine all forces acting on the robot. Materials; Robots that can be coded to move in different ways. Laptops to code. Agenda The

Students will be designing and building a strong house able to withstand hurricanes and tropical storms. In the lesson, students will compare their work with the actions of a character from If I Built

Students will construct a model of an ocean habitat to simulate an oil spill. They will then make observations about the behavior of the oil in the water and on the various items in the habitat model

Students will plant and observe plants from seed to full germination while making observations on growth in this engaging lesson. This will be done using a science notebook to record germination

Over two days students will build lego mazes to code their Sphero minis through. Materials needed are; the planning page, legos, Sphero minis, Sphero EDU App, iPads, and Lego build plates.

Students will be able to identify the 4 main nutritional needs for chickens, and why they are needed. They will be able to read a recipe and create ratios based on the recipe. For this first lesson

Model Building For Disaster is a 4-6 week unit in which students research natural disasters around the world and their effect on developing countries. Following their research, student teams design
