Students explore the amount of freshwater available for use by humans and design a product or solution to the scarcity of freshwater experienced by locations around the globe. This activity utilizes the STEM design cycle (Empathy, Ideate, Prototype, Feedback, Reflect, and Create). Students explore reasons why a place lacks freshwater (geography, politics, etc.) and have to design a product or solution that fits the needs and culture of a particular location. I took the project one step further

Students work in groups to design a biosphere that will be able to sustain itself in a mason jar. I had the students observe and record changes that took place over a two-week period. I provided some of the materials for my students, but many brought in their own.

An outline for a brochure project involving environmental threats. Students choose an environmental threat to research and create a brochure. Includes directions, a graphic organizer to organize student's thoughts, and a place to cite sources.

Students track a constellation in the night sky over the course of a year. They learn about how the earth's tilt and rotation has an effect on how we view constellations. Students will then create a constellation map that depicts their constellation each month of the year

Vocabulary and concept activity or review for pressure systems. As students complete the activity, a pixel image will appear. Pixels appear every time a correct answer is provided, the entire image will be visible when the activity is correctly completed. A great, quick, activity while also allowing the students to check their own answers!
