Design A "Green" Island: Climate Change Project PBL (NGSS Aligned, Editable)
It is the year 2100 and climate change has become a more serious problem than ever. Global temperatures have risen higher than they have ever been in the past. A new island has been found that has been untouched by humans. In this project, students will compete to be the group to colonize that island. Their goal is to create an island that is desirable to live upon but also has a small carbon footprint. Students will be required to perform calculations and make choices about what types of food/

Monster Genetics: Punnett Square Practice
This is a handout designed to help your students practice using Punnett Squares to predict what the offspring of two parent 'monsters' will look like. Students will be required to observe the phenotypes of the parent monsters and then infer their genotypes. They will then have to complete a Punnett Square in order to determine the probability of having offspring with certain genotypes/phenotypes. Finally, students will use all of their calculations to draw what they think the baby monster will l

Evolution vs. Extinction: Life Science Project (PBL)
In this two week project, students will synthesize their understanding of ecosystems, climate change, and natural selection. Students will begin the project by conducting background research on two animals. They will then predict the effects that climate change will have on each organism. One of the two organisms will go extinct. Students will predict what effect the extinction will have on that organism's ecosystem. The second organism will evolve. The students will brainstorm what adaptations

A Fossil Story: Earth Science Project (NGSS Aligned) Continental Drift & Fossils
We know that millions of years ago the continents were not in the places are today. In this project, students will imagine what happens one million years into the future when two continents come together that are currently apart. How will the organisms on the new supercontinent interact? Students will make predictions and write the 'story' that will take place on this future landmass. They will then create fossils and bury them in rock layers that tell their story. Finally, students get to play
