This lesson is designed for a high school biology class, as it is dependent on students having some prior knowledge of the structure of DNA. It reviews/teaches the key features of DNA structure by allowing students to use the engineering design process to create their own DNA models, compare/contrast provided models, and then edit/assess their own designs.

Students are practicing using Scratch programming to program microbit sensors to continually read temperature. Doing this will familiarize students with the Scratch programming software to program TDS and Temperature sensors for the fishtank in the hallway.
Explore the relationship between the temperature of a gas and its volume. …
Explore the relationship between the temperature of a gas and its volume. This is commonly known as Charles's Law. The volume of a gas tends to increase as the temperature increases.

The transition from a solid to a liquid state is called melting. The transition from a liquid to a gas state is called boiling. The temperatures at which particles change state are important properties of substances. Explore why different substances have different melting and boiling points, then create a rule that relates particle attraction to melting and boiling point.

This lesson provides students with practice categorizing items according to how they feel by using their sense of touch. First, the students will review the five senses by singing a song. Then, they will take turns picking items out of a bag blindfolded. They will use their sense of touch to determine if the item feels soft, hard, smooth, or rough. The students will categorize the items by the attribute of touch.

In this activity, students investigate Evolution through Natural Selection and the supportive evidence for the Theory of Evolution. The notes feature interactive slides which require individual student participation.*Recommended to be assigned individually with teacher leading instruction via a shared screen (virtual) or projector (classroom).

Explore how heat transfers from the outside to the inside of a home through a thermal bridge. The boundary that separates the inside from the outside of a home is called the thermal boundary and includes all sections of the house that are insulated. Garages and attics are often outside the thermal boundary as they are not insulated, unlike the main housing quarters. However, a thermal boundary may also include thermal bridges that enable heat transfer, specifically conduction, between the inside and outside of a home. Conduction is a specific form of heat transfer where heat moves between two objects when they are physically touching.

I created this google document to use as a weekly homework assignment for my students. It covers thermal energy concepts such as convection, conduction, radiation, phase changes, and temperature conversions. It could be assigned in google classroom or printed out and given as a hard copy. It could also be adapted to be used as classwork, a quiz, enrichment, reinforcement, extra credit or a warm-up.

In this lesson, students will discuss and analyze human impact on the environment. While completing activities on human impact and seeing how this can change populations over time, students will analyze how technology has had a similar impact on the environment and the world. They will also debate the advantages and disadvantages of having these technological advances.

Explore what happens when a force is exerted on a rubber tire. There are many different types of materials. Each material has a particular molecular structure, which is responsible for the material's mechanical properties. The molecular structure of each material affects how it responds to an applied force at the macroscopic level.
