Students model the formation of sedimentary rocks and fossil fuels through stratigraphic modeling and pressure simulations. Aligned with TEKS 5.10(B).

Students evaluate the advantages and disadvantages of renewable and nonrenewable resources through wind energy prototyping and resource analysis. Aligned with TEKS 4.11(A).

Students explore and explain the human use of natural resources in construction, agriculture, and manufacturing through building and design challenges. Aligned with TEKS 3.11(A).

Students distinguish between natural and manmade resources through a classification scavenger hunt and an inventive transformation activity. Aligned with TEKS 2.11(A).

Students identify and describe how plants, animals, and humans use rocks, soil, and water through hands-on filtration and construction challenges. Aligned with TEKS 1.11(A).

An inquiry-based science lesson where students explore the complex connections within ecosystems through hands-on modeling and micro-habitat investigation. Students take on the role of 'Eco-Detectives' to discover how biotic and abiotic factors depend on one another.

A 65-minute lesson for 5th grade students focused on designing and explaining engineering solutions for conservation, recycling, and renewable energy. Includes 'Pure Path' and 'Eco-Block' challenges.

A 65-minute lesson for 4th grade students focused on the critical role of energy resources and the difference between renewable and non-renewable energy. Includes 'Solar Chef' and 'Wind Weaver' engineering challenges.

A 30-minute lesson for 3rd grade students focused on the importance of natural resource conservation and the 3 Rs (Reduce, Reuse, Recycle). Includes the 'Sort-O-Matic' and 'Renew-a-Bottle' challenges.

A 30-minute lesson for 2nd grade students focused on how human choices can limit impact on the environment. Includes 'Path Protector' and 'Recycle Choice' engineering challenges.

A 30-minute lesson for 1st grade students focused on the importance of water conservation and protecting natural water sources through engineering solutions. Includes the 'Stop the Drop' and 'Stream Screen' challenges.

An interactive science lesson for grades 4-6 focused on the water cycle. Students explore evaporation, condensation, and precipitation through a 'Solar Still' lab experiment, with differentiated materials for various learning needs.

Fifth-grade students model the formation of complex landforms. They create deltas to understand deposition and design road systems that survive migrating sand dunes, focusing on the identification and formation processes of distinct Earth features.

Fourth-grade students engage in two 30-minute challenges exploring slow changes like weathering, erosion, and deposition. They model canyon formation and design protective coatings for "monuments" to withstand chemical and physical weathering.
