Focuses on how air masses and pressure changes create weather patterns, featuring hands-on observation of cloud formation.
A high-engagement, post-testing biology project focusing on environmental science and ecological impact through choice-based research and collaborative synthesis.
A comprehensive exploration of genetic engineering, focusing on CRISPR technology, the complexities of pleiotropy, and the ethical implications of designer genes. Students analyze the trade-offs between medical advancement and genetic diversity.
A creative engineering project where students design and build a game that incorporates functional series and parallel circuits, applying principles of Ohm's Law and electric power.
A foundational lesson on the Scientific Method, covering definitions, steps, variables, and data collection methods.
Explores global circulation patterns in the atmosphere and oceans driven by unequal heating and Earth's rotation, culminating in a modified unit assessment.
Students explore how the sun's energy and gravity drive the movement of water through the Earth's systems using a field-journal style approach.
A collaborative jigsaw activity where students become experts on different renewable energy sources before teaching their peers and synthesising their knowledge.
A comprehensive lesson exploring the science, ethics, and consequences of gene editing through the fictional case study of Zion. Students will learn about CRISPR, pleiotropy, and the societal implications of 'designer' traits.
A comprehensive environmental science project broken into manageable phases, from research to final presentation. Students investigate global environmental challenges and propose solutions through a 'mission-based' framework.
