This lesson plan will allow students to explore the use of a PhET simulation in creating a series and parallel circuit, then apply this knowledge in creating a real circuit. Students will also learn
In this lesson, students observe the changes in states of matter caused by heat, or the lack in changes in some objects. Students relate this to the Driving Question of what happened to the Niagara
Students will apply their knowledge of food chains within ecosystems to the design of a mandala. This lesson will combine science, visual art and geometry. First, students will get a review of food
Students will apply physics and engineering principles to design and construct a functional mini-golf course using homemade materials.
In this lesson, students will explore how sound moves through physical matter by building a cup and string "telephone." Following testing their design, students will create a video or podcast to
In this model-based inquiry lesson, students will explore how sound travels through an in-person phenomenon. Following this experience students will then explain this phenomenon by creating a model.
This lesson will help students judge the difference between Thermal Conductors and Insulators. Students will test, collect data, and find results on which insulator material with have the best results
In this lesson students explore the relationship between pigmentation and light absorbance. Students will use a spectrophotometer to analyze pigment samples and record the absorption spectrum for
Students build a wind turbine and test how much work it can do. Students also use data about wind energy production to complete a Claim-Evidence-Reasoning assignment.
