Plate Tectonics
Students will explore how major geologic events such as earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, mid-ocean ridges, and mountain formations are associated with plate boundaries and how these attribute to plate motions. NGSS…
MoreLunar Impact:LCROSS
Students will learn about Moon exploration and the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter. Through problem-solving techniques, students will design and engineer a spacecraft based on the Lunar Crater Observation and Sensing Satellite…
MoreStates of Matter
The Solar System yields an understanding of the physical characteristics and changes of solid, liquid, and gas states. Primary students will study the properties of each state of matter through…
MoreExoplanet Art
Students will learn about exoplanets and how they are detected, as well as the Kepler telescope and its success in seeking out habitable worlds in our galaxy. Students will explore…
MoreElectric Earth
Students will learn about the Earth’s energy and its uses. Students will understand how electricity moves through wires to create circuits. NGSS standards: 4-PS3-2, 4-PS3-4, 4-ESS3-1, 3-5-ETS1-3, MS-PS3-5, Addresses 21st…
MoreWeather
Weather conditions change because of the uneven heating of Earth’s surface by the Sun’s energy. Students will learn that weather changes are measured by differences in temperature, air pressure, wind,…
