It is a lesson that is based on Mathematical computation and Project based learning. Students have to find the proportional relationship between the surface area of the house and the paint to be used
By exploring seeds and the effects of different planting patterns/depths on seed germination, students will conduct exploration of varying seed depths in soil and keep track of growth and traits over
This lesson is from Arizona Game and Fish Department. The lesson has students look at data on elk-vehicle collisions on State Route 260. The road is being widened to a two-lane divided road with elk
In this lesson, students begin to develop questions about what is being wasted in our school. It could be waste during lunch or waste as an overall school. Students will conduct an investigation
This is the planning and set-up stage for an experiment to see which type of gardening is the most sustainable and produces the best results. You will need to either choose or have students help
In this lesson, teams of 3-4 students will design and create scale models of four landforms that they chose. This lesson takes place in a classroom for 60 minutes, with an emphasis on the target
This lesson takes this classic story and opens a door to the science that is hidden in what is happening in the environment. Students will dive into what a lion is, and their ecosystem. Art is also
This lesson allows students to explore and build a tangible understanding of how and why changing side lengths impacts the overall volume of a rectangular prism. Students will explore how ratio
Students will learn lots of information about the rainforest featuring the different layers, the animals, birds, plants, and other important concepts. Students will then use this information and
Students will be learning about the Fibonacci mathematical design pattern. They will learn about the 3 different mathematical Fibonacci sequence designs, vocabulary, and creating their own art
This lesson is based on the Fibonacci sequence. Overlapping concepts of pattern, repetition, structure, scale, proportions are considerations for constructing an artistic, math-based sculpture
In the lesson plan, students will embark on an exciting engineering challenge as they construct and program their own robot rovers to strategize a mission to the Moon. Throughout the lesson, students
This is the third lesson in the series of lessons comparing how garden growing techniques determine plant growth and production. In this 3 - day lesson, students will begin with review of the first 2
The basics of natural selection will be highlighted using the Natural Selection PhET simulation where students complete a series of challenges. As a result of this experience, students will be able to
The basics of natural selection will be highlighted using the Natural Selection PhET simulation where students complete a series of challenges. As a result of this experience, students will be able to
This lesson is intended to build on existing knowledge about a previously learned topic. Students should already know about and be able to apply specific information about a bird species based on a
Students will engineer a game with rules and directions to help understand and practice proportional ratios with as little material needed as possible.
An introduction to Kepler's 1st Law and ellipses. The lesson includes some guided notes for students as well as a hands on activity where students will draw, measure, explore, and conduct calculations
7th Grade students will apply what they have learned about electricity and magnetism to understand electromagnets. Students will explore electromagnets and investigate the factors that affect the
This engaging lesson is an introductory lesson regarding the size and scale of the Universe and objects within. This was designed for high school Astronomy but is easily useable with ages down through
In this physics lesson, students carry out a lab activity to determine Hooke's Law and investigate spring constants.
In this hands-on lesson, students will work in groups of 3 and experiment with light on plants to explain photosynthesis. They will conduct this experiment over the course of 3 to 4 weeks. With data
In this lesson plan, students will be asked to model and introduce an invasive species that they think will adapt and reproduce quickly but will cause harm in Arizona ecosystems. Students are expected
