Students will be given a chance to place their hands on two different objects and then predict on which an ice cube will melt more quickly. Students will make a prediction as to what will happen when balloons filled with air and with water are held over a candle flame. Determine the Type of heat transfer happening in a variety of demonstrations and identify instances of each type of heat transfer in their lives.

This was a resource Henrico county teachers and students utilized during virtual learning. The site was accessible to all PreK - 12 learners in the county and consisted of choice boards, performance tasks, STEAM, and Book talks. This site was similar to Netflix where students had a choice and voice in the learning process. These resources focused on Henrico's Learning Profile which is a synthesis of the Profile of a VA Graduate and focuses on the 6 C's - Quality Character, Global Citizen, Communication, Collaboration, Critical Thinking, and Creative Thinking.

In this lesson, students will consider how weather forecasting can play an important part in their daily lives. They will learn about the history of weather forecasting — from old weather proverbs to modern forecasting equipment — and how improvements in weather technology have saved lives by providing advance warning of natural hazards.

Explore how heat transfers within a home through convection and how this process is affected by the state of the home's windows and wind outside. Both the state of the windows (open or closed) and presence of wind will affect this process. Convection is a specific form of heat transfer where heated air or fluid becomes lighter and rises above unheated air or fluid.

This minds-on, hands-on activity begins with analysis and discussion questions that develop student understanding of homeostasis and negative feedback and the differences between negative and positive feedback. Next, students develop a model of negative feedback regulation of blood levels of CO2 and O2 as they learn or review basic information about cellular respiration and basic physiology of the respiratory and circulatory systems. Then, students carry out an experiment to test their negative feedback model and analyze the data. In a final optional section, students develop and carry out an independent investigation. This activity helps students meet the Next Generation Science Standards.

This lesson provides guidance for students to create and practice a presentation about design challenge results that they developed in the previous unit lessons and how to present it to the school administration.
This analysis and discussion activity introduces students to the basic principles of …
This analysis and discussion activity introduces students to the basic principles of how biological organisms use energy. The focus is on understanding the roles of ATP and cellular respiration. In addition, students apply the principles of conservation of energy and conservation of matter to avoid common errors and correct common misconceptions. This activity helps students meet the Next Generation Science Standards.
Science Instructional Plans (SIPs) help teachers align instruction with the Science Standards …
Science Instructional Plans (SIPs) help teachers align instruction with the Science Standards of Learning (SOL) by providing examples of how the content and the scientific and engineering practices found in the SOL and curriculum framework can be presented to students in the classroom.
