Through globe modeling, students visualize Earth's rotation on its axis to explain the cycle of day and night.
This lesson explores the invisible forces of gravity and magnetism, while teaching students how to organize and visualize scientific observations through graphing. Students will learn to identify variables and create accurate line graphs from experimental data.
Students will learn to identify the ten primary cloud types, categorize them by altitude, and predict weather outcomes based on cloud formations.
An exploration of life in America during World War II, focusing on how rationing, Victory Gardens, and community efforts supported the war from home.
Students explore the eight planets of our solar system, learning about their unique characteristics and the forces that keep them in orbit.
A 4-hour independent learning sequence where students investigate fossil formation, environmental changes over time, and the secrets of the fossil record.
Synthesizing knowledge to analyze a fossil "dig site" and completing a final assessment.
Exploring the differences between body fossils (bones, teeth) and trace fossils (footprints, burrows).
Using fossil evidence to determine whether an area was once a marine, desert, or forest environment.
Introduction to how fossils form through the process of sedimentary rock layering and preservation.
A biology and health lesson focused on bone growth, mineral density, and the lifelong habits required to build a strong skeletal foundation through nutrition and exercise.
A whole-group lesson where students identify cause and effect relationships by analyzing how animal adaptations help fairy tale creatures survive their stories.
A comprehensive introduction to how telescopes work, their history, and the famous ones that help us see deep into space. Students will explore different types of telescopes through a massive research quest.
A geography-focused science lesson identifying different types of landforms and bodies of water on Earth.
Students explore the concept of Earth's rotation through the visible patterns of day and night.
An introduction to the states of matter by observing how water changes from liquid to solid.
A basic physics lesson on force, teaching students about pushes and pulls using everyday objects.
