Data

In this hands-on lesson, students will explore how speed is calculated, what inertia is and apply it to Newton’s Laws of Motion. They use the engineering design process to construct race cars out of

This hands-on lesson has students create a barometer using a jar, balloon, stir stick and tape. They collect data over a span of time and graph it to understand how a barometer works and how it

In this engaging lesson, students explore the forces of flight and use the Engineering Design Process to improve the flight times and distance traveled with a paper airplane. Resources are included

In this lesson students analyze the relationship between rainfall and tree growth from a sample. They will then graphically model that relationship. This is the 4th lesson in a series of 4. Links to

In this lesson students will gather data about local tree diameters. They will then estimate the approximate age of trees. Students build connections between a tree’s growth and environmental factors

Students will measure the height, diameter, and circumference of a tree in this engaging lesson. They will then determine a tree’s age by counting growth rings. Students will determine how rainfall

In this lesson, students will explore how biomes differ in different parts of the globe. They will identify differences between biomes and collaborate with peers to gather environmental science data

In this interactive lesson, students will create a Duplo Lego Vehicle and test how forces affect motion. Students will be placed in groups of 3-4 and be given a force to test. They will decide which

Students gain a deeper understanding of the concepts of balanced and unbalanced forces in this lesson. They will be able to identify the effects that balanced and unbalanced forces have on the motion
