Do you want your students to take more of an active role in the Earth Science or Environmental Science classroom? Invite them to design a new school that is zero-energy certified! Through this project, students will learn more about zero-energy schools - what they are and how they work - and will read various case studies to help them choose various design elements that will make their new school building zero-energy-certified. After they conduct their research, students will write a project pr

Looking for ways to spice up teaching the scientific method? Want to host a science fair but without all the work of wrangling large boards for presentations? This project combines both solutions in the Tiny Science Fair! Through this project, students will apply the scientific method to answer a question of interest and will present their findings to the class in a science fair style setting - but instead of creating a large tri-fold display, students will demonstrate their findings on a folded
