Students will create an original design using only plastic bags in this creative lesson. They will reuse plastic bags to create a useful product they could sell. Students will use evidence to

In this lesson, students will identify the significance of the shapes found in and around their home. Making these connections will provide a real-world framework to their understanding of mathematics

Summary - Students will be identifying the structures and functions of plant reproductive parts. Materials - Flowers, scissors, magnifying lenses, resource materials (internet/textbook)

In this unit, students will study the effects of acid rain and chemically engineer an environmentally friendly solution to neutralize the acid in a simulated river contaminated by factory run-off

This would be an end of the unit project. Students would need prior knowledge about animal adaptations and biomes/habitats. Students will use Flipgrid to share, but you could use any other video app

You could do this together, step by step or give them all of the materials and information needed to do it by themselves. Could be a group activity or an individual activity so each student can take

Students will learn about the food chain, and the American Kestrel's place in it. Students will be able to classify organisms, construct a model of the North American Kestrel’s role in the food web

This lesson plan is written for 7th grade science but can be modified to be used with any age group. Students will create petri dishes and will collect samples from bathrooms. Students will then

In this lesson, students will identify the significance of the numbers found in and around their home. Making these connections will help strengthen number sense and provide a real-world framework to

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

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 individually construct straw rockets. Using the launcher, students will learn the concept of Newton's third law of motion: for every action, there is a equal and opposite reaction

Power point with parts of a flower, worksheets and short quiz provided

In this engaging lesson, students will summarize the environmental impact of obtaining and using fossil fuels and recommend solutions for reducing use of fossil fuels. Students use chocolate chip
