Une étude approfondie de la cinématique d'un tramway en milieu urbain, abordant les mouvements uniformément variés avec et sans contraintes de vitesse. Cette leçon permet d'appliquer les principes fondamentaux de la dynamique aux transports ferroviaires réels.

Students synthesize their knowledge to participate in a structured debate about the future of wildlife restoration.

Students analyze the differing viewpoints of ranchers, environmentalists, and local communities regarding predator reintroduction.

Students explore the scientific history of wolf reintroduction in Yellowstone and investigate the concept of trophic cascades and ecosystem engineering.

An exploration of the rock cycle's dynamic processes, from the fiery birth of igneous rocks to the transformative heat and pressure of metamorphism. Students will learn how Earth constantly recycles its crust through physical and chemical changes.

Students identify various landforms and apply their knowledge of geological processes to design their own island ecosystem in a culminating project.

A deep dive into the forces of weathering and erosion using mechanical simulations to observe how rocks break down and move over time.

Students explore the three main types of rocks and the processes that transform them through a hands-on simulation using crayons to represent the rock cycle.

Explore how ecosystems respond to disturbances through primary and secondary succession, and analyze the relationship between biodiversity and ecosystem stability.

Students act as 'Marine Bio-Engineers' to design and build artificial reef structures that support a healthy ecosystem on Mystery Island's coast, focusing on biotic and abiotic interactions.

Students design and build 'Food Web Restoration' models to visualize and explain the flow of energy from producers to multiple consumers on Mystery Island.

Students design and build 'Weather Shields' to protect a model plant from extreme temperature and precipitation changes on Mystery Island, exploring how environmental factors affect organisms.

Students act as 'Botanical Engineers' to design and build seed models that can travel through the air to reach new parts of Mystery Island, focusing on seed dispersal methods.

Students design external structures for a 'Mystery Organism' to help it meet its basic needs (food, water, shelter) on Mystery Island, focusing on the link between structure and function.

A deep dive into the subatomic origins of plate tectonics, tracing the journey from unstable nuclei to the massive convection currents that move continents.

A comprehensive assessment lesson focusing on the specific events of prophase, metaphase, anaphase, telophase, and cytokinesis through detailed matching exercises.

This lesson explores advanced rotational dynamics, focusing on the application of Newton's Second Law for rotation to massive pulleys and rolling objects where static friction provides the necessary torque for rolling without slipping.

A comprehensive 60-minute lesson exploring the differences and mathematical relationships between translational and rotational kinetic energy, featuring guided reading, visual organizers, and problem-solving.

A comprehensive lesson on seafloor uplift, covering the geological processes of plate tectonics, mid-ocean ridges, and the impact of rising crust on the ocean environment.

A comprehensive lesson exploring the physics of tsunami waves, from their seismic origins to their dramatic transformation as they approach the shore. Students will learn about wave propagation, the relationship between depth and speed, and the shoaling effect.

Day 2 dives into particle motion and spacing during phase changes, featuring a CER practice and a comprehensive exit ticket review.
