In this unit, students will use their knowledge of weather and climate patterns to construct, place, and collect data from a rain gauge for one month. The beginning of the school year would be the
Students will practice their 21st-century skills as they complete building challenges. With a value assigned to each plank, teams work toward the goal of completing each challenge successfully, while
Students learn about the Colorado River watershed and the impact of water rights and usage. They will read about the past and present water flow data, build a model of the watershed, calculate data
Explore how cells can only be so big by studying how things move in and out of them, and discover why the size of a cell is connected to its surface area and volume.
24 Hour Garbage Lab
Three day lesson on garbage, recycling, and composting. Day 1: Students are provided a garbage bag and no instruction on recycling. *Collect all of your disposable garbage for 24 hours. Bring it back
This is an introductory activity to reaction kinetics at an AP Chemistry level. Students use model kits or Legos in an activity that allows them to model how changing the concentration of reactants in
Students will use Tinkercad's 3D Modeling tool to plan and design the layout for a school garden.
Students will investigate how solar energy changes the temperature of a substance.
Using the Sphero Bolts/Sparks to joust as a Medieval Knight. Students will understand the basics of Sphero Bolt and its programming environment.
In this engaging and interactive lesson, students explore adaptation and creative problem-solving. Inspired by "The Great Turkey Race," students will engage in a hands-on engineering lesson to design
Students will go through the process of counting pumpkin seeds and analyzing data through mean, median and mode as well as creating correlating graphs. Students will learn what causes fruit
This lesson includes academic areas for ELA, math, and coding. The lessons are completed with students in small groups effectively using their collaboration skills to completed the assingments and
Students will read the story "If I Built a House" and then record their elements of the story on index cards. Next they will design and build a House of Cards using index cards.
Students will use the projects from lessons 2 and 3 to analyze the data of the electric cars they made. They will identify the variables in their cars and plan improvements to their designs.
This lesson uses the knowledge of circuits (lessons 1 and 2) to make a battery-powered car. We used a tutorial from Tinkercad and designed our own body of a car. Then, I printed their cars. They
In this lesson, students will extract chlorophyll from spinach leaves and make different concentrations following the dilution method. Students will learn to compare the absorbance values obtained at
In this lesson, students will explore the different pigments in green plants using spinach leaves. Students will identify the pigments by doing a lab using paper chromatography. They will observe the
The owl pellet dissection is an engaging lesson where students will be looking closely at regurgitated pellets and discovering energy transfer through the owl and their prey. Students will be creating
After learning about emission spectra, electron energy levels, orbitals and configurations, and periodic trends for atomic radius and ionization energy; this is concluding activity that require
This is a phenomena-based introduction to how emission spectra of elements and the connection to electrons and energy levels. Students first get to explore the emission spectra of several gases using
In the 5th-grade Paper Plane Aerodynamics lesson, students embark on an exciting journey into the world of flight. Through hands-on activities, they explore the fundamental principles of aerodynamics
The "From Farm to Table" unit will provide 2nd grade students with an understanding of the journey food takes from the farm to their tables. Students will explore the water cycle, plant life cycle
Students create a reindeer to learn about force and see how far their reindeer can fly. They can track their distance and make improvements on their reindeer. Enrichments students can see how weight
