Students develop possible evolution pathways to the organisms found in the blockbuster movie Avatar (2009, Rated PG-13). Pandora evolves from a planet very similar to Earth, students outline how organisms found here eventually evolve into the organisms found on Pandora. Students behave like field biologists and use creativity to construct three separate ways of describing defining traits of Pandoran organisms. Can be completed as an individual project or groups up to three. This download inc

A spreadsheet template that teaches simple mathematical coding in order to solve equations of motion. Includes a video demonstration of how to write all code. Once complete, students may input initial conditions and computer will auto-calculate displacement in two axis (x-axis or range, y-axis or height) and velocity in both axis and then graphs results. Teacher's Edition is hidden on each page with additional video resources, and link to Google Sheets version of this activity. To find open
