This lesson plan focuses on the following standards. Construct an explanation of the origin, expansion, and scale of the universe based on astronomical evidence. ● The study of stars' light spectra

Students will use the internet to collect data on a given State (or place) for 5 days. They will then make predictions on the weather and how to keep people in that community safe. They will then

Engineers often create small-size models of a new product to test its design. This is especially true with airplanes. Model testing tells engineers how a design responds to different air conditions

In this unique and engaging lesson, students will simulate the Oregon Trail journey using STEM to make decisions and analyze outcomes. They will collaborate and communicate effectively with their

In this lesson, students will understand the impact of oil spills in the ocean. They will work cooperatively to come up with solutions and materials to clean up a simulated oil spill. Students will

Students will research and understand bird evolution. They will identify the functions of body parts and ecosystems. They will predict evolutionary changes that a specific bird will go through and the

In this hands-on lesson, students will explore the water cycle and learn how it works. Students will be able to make their own model and observe the water cycle in class. They create an art piece and
