This lesson allows students to construct solar system models showing the comparative sizes of the planets to a scale.
The students will also use their models to carry out an investigation to analyze and interpret the distances between planets in the Solar System.
This lesson uses common objects easily obtained by teachers. In this lesson, students will use technology to construct a model of a balanced ecosystem that shows how energy cycles from one organism to the next by completing research and writing short passages about their ecosystem. Students will then compare their balanced model ecosystem and describe a change or introduce an invasive species to show how the balance of their model ecosystem will change to adapt.
Students will collect data on an investigation where two or more substances are mixed together. Students will analyze the investigation to decide the type of change, chemical or physical, that occurred during the investigation.

Students will take part in an activity exploring the motion of colliding objects. Under the Unity and Diversity DCI, students are asked to evaluate data comparing similarities in developing embryos across different organisms. While this is a classic component of understanding evolution, the modern, real-world reason to learn it is to understand the why and how of using model organisms like zebrafish.
Students will learn about how model organisms have been used to find treatments to medical problems in the past, how they are used and selected now, and will be able to draw their own conclusions about the similarities among vertebrates vs. The students will make a drawing that lights up, while investigating circuits using copper tape, batteries and LEDs.

They will group the fasteners based on similar characteristics and divide them into domains, kingdoms, phyla, classes, orders, families, genera, and species. They will also have to "name" each taxon for their classification system as well as give the scientific name for each "species" of a fastener. In terms of life science content, evolution is essentially where genetics meets ecology.
In this introduction to evolution, students will take on the role of both research biologists and predators to simulate how environmental conditions affect and change a population of model frogs and traits.

In this lesson, which was adapted from Gravity and Falling Objects, s tudents predict what will happen when different objects are dropped at the same time from the same height, and then test their predictions. Next, they will observe objects of different masses being dropped and leaking cups being dropped into a bucket. The activities in this lesson will demonstrate that all objects fall at the same rate, regardless of their mass.
Finally, students will predict what will happen when two balls of the same mass but different volumes--and then two balls of different masses but the same volume--are dropped at the same time from the same height. This is a technology based, hands-on Biology lesson on the types of mutations that can occur during DNA replication. Students will complete a virtual lab on DNA Mutations. Mutations involve a physical change to genetic material that results in the abnormal encoding of protein sequences.
The students will complete mRNA and protein sequences based on the information provided. The students will identify the number of amino acids changed and how they think this mutation will impact the organism. Students will develop a scale model of the sun, Earth, and moon system based on a one-meter sun. Students will first interact with a technology-based scaled model and view a video clip on scaling the solar system.

This lesson,"Tug of War! In this lesson, students describe relative strengths and directions of the push or pull applied to a ball's movement. Students will work in a whole group and then with a partner, sitting in a circle, to push and then receive a ball, with a flattened palm, from another student. Students will observe the "collision" of the ball and hand.
They will then go outdoors or in the gym to kick the ball with the side of the foot to direct the ball in different directions. The ball will be stopped or redirected in the same way. Students will then pull a ball toward themselves and describe the difference in the push and pull of the ball.
Students could play a "Kickball Game" to watch the "collision" of the ball. In this interdisciplinary lesson about solar and lunar eclipses, students will model and determine the difference between the two eclipses. Students will complete a virtual lab on Human Body Tissues.
This lab can be found by going to the Histology Virtual Lab. In this lab, students can be in pairs or individual in a computer lab or with tablets. Students will go to the website listed above to view and draw specific body tissues that are outlined in the student e-lab they will have to download.
At the end of the assignment, students will make a portfolio of their tissues. In this lesson, students will work as a whole group and in pairs to investigate objects that push or pull other objects, or objects that must be pushed or pulled.
As a group, the class will decide on a definition of "push" and "pull". They will then go outdoors to identify and explore objects that can be pushed or pulled. They will demonstrate pushing and pulling on the playground by doing "push-ups" and "pull-ups" using playground equipment.
In this hands-on investigation, students will demonstrate how forces have an effect on objects. Students will identify objects that can be moved and demonstrate how movement puts objects in motion. Students will design a roller coaster using marbles and foam pipe insulation to observe the relationship between potential and kinetic energy. Students will calculate the average speed of the marble and relate that speed to the potential and kinetic energy of the marble.
Students will use various angles and track designs to see the impact it has on marble speed. This lesson will engage students in the ways an object can move by applying the forces of push and pull.
Students will investigate how to make an object move faster, slower, and stop.
