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 demonstrates and helps students understand the concept of non-contact forces with a hands-on-activity. In the experiment, the students will be making a magnetic car in groups of 2-4. After

Mixtures and Solutions: Students investigate how various mixtures can be separated. While making a mixture of salt and water, connections are made to global water supplies and the amount of fresh and

Students investigate the movement of electricity within a circuit and examine how a circuit can be used to power a device where electrical energy is transferred to complete a task by making wobble

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

In the lesson, students will be able to build and explore how fractional edge lengths impact the overall volume of a figure. Students will gain a tangible understanding of how fractional edges impact

In this lesson, students will build irregular figures using Magna-Tiles. Students will collaborate, discuss, and debate with peers to find multiple ways to calculate the volume and surface areas of

This two-part lesson models STEM instruction in the context of an ELD classroom. In this lesson (part 2), students pose a research question about clouds, weather, and/or climate, and address it with

This hands-on lesson engages students by having them give each other instructions to complete a task. They read about coding and code for a Sphero bot to navigate a course using math to calculate
