What do you think will happen to Peppermint Puffs that are put in warm water, cold water, oil, and vinegar? Will they dissolve? In which substance will they dissolve the fastest? In this experiment, your students will find out! Students will also record their data and use technology (a spreadsheet on their Chrome book) to analyze, graph and discuss their learning.
What materials dissolve in water? How does water temperature affect this? Your …
What materials dissolve in water? How does water temperature affect this? Your students will work in groups using a thermometer and timer to discover if salt, sugar, sand, and flour will dissolve best in hot or cold water. Further, your class will learn to record and submit data on a Google form and create graphs. This will allow you to have great class discussions to draw conclusions about the effect temperature has on dissolving matter.

Welcome to an out-of-this-world journey through our solar system! In this interactive lesson,students will embark on a journey to understand how changes in technology have impacted science learning through reading, hands-on model manipulation, projector visuals, model building, and newer technology like MERGE Cubes.

Technology has changed drastically - from smartphones to virtual reality. In this lesson, you will review the main types of Simple Machines. Through class discussions, your students will compare how both technology and simple machines have changed and are used differently than they were in the past. Your students will then explore and build examples of modern-day machinery.

Students will use their understanding of password security to create a model of the layers of the Earth. Each layer essential to our Earth’s systems and processes just as the components of a strong password are important to enhance cybersecurity.

This lesson will serve as an introduction to the science and engineering practices that will be used heavily throughout life science (see standards below). Given a limited set of materials, the students will work as a class to determine which combination of design modifications will produce the farthest-flying paper airplane. Students will divide the large problem into a series of simple experiments and pool their data so that each group may draw a local conclusion based on their own data and a global conclusion based on the aggregated data. As a class, we will create an airplane with the combination of characteristics prescribed by the data and do one final test and conclusion together. This will serve as an analog for the sort of decomposition seen in computer science. We have our large, complex problem (which constellation of characteristics will yield the farthest-flying paper airplane), and each group will test a particular characteristic to determine what is optimal. We will pool our results and use them to create an ideal paper airplane.
In this assignment, students will use their knowledge of simple and parallel …
In this assignment, students will use their knowledge of simple and parallel circuits to design and build a picture or card with a working light-up component. Students will need to work collaboratively and problem solve to accomplish this task. Through lots of trial and error students gain a much better understanding of conductors, switches, the semiconducting properties of LED bulbs, parallel circuits, and short circuits.
How does an object's speed change as it falls through the atmosphere? …
How does an object's speed change as it falls through the atmosphere? When first learning about how objects fall, usually just one force--gravity--is considered. Such a simplification only accurately describes falling motion in a vacuum. This model of a parachute carrying a load incorporates a second force--air resistance--and allows experimentation with two variables that affect its speed: the size of the parachute and the mass of its load. This model graphs both the parachute's height above the Earth's surface and its speed after it is released. Motion continues until a constant speed is achieved, the terminal velocity.

All the "stuff" that is around us, we call matter. Matter is made of either atoms or molecules much too small to see. We give these basic building blocks the general name of particles. Particles exist in three basic states: solids, liquids, and gases. Explore the characteristics of a gas from a molecular viewpoint.
