The main goal of this project is to tie together the many different ideas and scientific principles we have learned about. I have included a list of 36 different scientists that have greatly influenced the way in which we live. The list starts with Philosphers such as Anaximander, Plato and Aristotle, and ends with those scientist whom are still alive today; Stephen Hawking, James Dewey Watson and Tim Berners-Lee. I use this project as an end of the year activity in which each student gets to

This project was created for my Astronomy class. I use this after we finish our unit on Stars and Constellations. To summarize, I have provided a list of 18 Constellations for the students to choose from. Included in the list are the circumpolar, winter, spring, summer and autumn constellations for the Northern Hemisphere. The students will create a PowerPoint on their assigned constellation and also will come up with a created constellation of their choice. They will have to use a star map to

This assignment is set up for students to engage themselves in the world of conjoined twins. This is always a neat topic to cover and students find themselves very intrigued in the whole process. I have the students write a small, three parargraph, essay on their thoughts after reading the article. I also supplement the article with videos on YouTube about conjoined twins so they can see how these people live. On the first page of this assignment, is a sheet that has the same thing printed on

This assignment was created for the start of my Meteorology course. As it states, "In order for us to really know what is going on outside, we must first really know how the readings are taken." That is precisely what this assignment is about. I had the students create a PowerPoint presentation on the weather terms that I selected, terms like temperature, wind speed and dew point. I uploaded an example so you can see how these projects come out. You will get my rubric for grading the PowerPoin

This lab is used as an introduction to graphing velocity. Each student group (2 students) is given a set of five baloons and a piece of tape. They can use their phone or watch to keep time. Simply put, the students head into the hallway and start three seperate trials of balloon dropping. They drop the balloons while walking very slow, slow and medium paced speeds. (Very slow helps to keep them from having to measure 30+ meters for their "fast" walk). The lab is also put together with a graph
