Streamlining STEM

This comprehensive Tootsie Pop Lab is designed to engage middle school students in the core practices of science and engineering through a hands-on, inquiry-based investigation. Students explore experimental design by formulating hypotheses, identifying variables, and developing systematic procedures to simulate “licking” a Tootsie Pop via a controlled dunking method. Incorporating precise data collection using digital scales, this project reinforces measurement skills and the importance of con

This retake and relearn policy is designed to support students in their learning journey by providing opportunities for them to revisit and improve their understanding of course material. The policy allows students who have not achieved a passing grade on a quiz, test, or summative assignment to retake or relearn the material.
