Having students end our Human Impact unit by creating a model of their own usage of water at home or even throughout the day/week. Students will design a solution to better conserve water themselves or their community by analyzing the date from the model they created.
Students will explore electric and magnetic fields individually before using a circuit to explore how both electric and magnetic forces can be leveraged to make more complicated pieces of technology.
Students explore how water moves from natural sources to the faucet, learning water quality testing and filtration skills through hands-on exercises. They compare filter designs, examine their effectiveness, and discover careers in the water treatment industry.
Medical Mystery: A Parasite Puzzle is a 10-day learning module designed for middle school in which students will research, discuss, and ultimately diagnose a disease caused by a particular parasite.
Students will work in teams to "treat" a model of "sewage" with different processes and materials.
Students will develop background knowledge about nanoscience and biomimicry to engage in a hands-on lesson where they explore how various natural materials react when exposed to water and other contaminants.
Purifying water with household materials to explore the process and effort of removing pollutants.
Students will understand how humans depend on Earth’s natural resources, how these resources are unevenly distributed, and how people further affect their distributions.
Students will be able to observe and measure the built wetlands habitat and describe the ecosystem interactions as well as evidence of resilience.
