Students will learn about rocket design and the past, present, and future of rocket launches. Students will assemble rockets while thinking about how forces like direction and magnitude affect the…
MoreRobotics Exploration Mission
Students engaging in this mission will work in teams to complete mission objectives programming and operating LEGO EV3® robots on our simulated Martian terrain. These missions will improve students’ teamwork, communication…
MoreReason for the Seasons
Students will learn about the Earth’s tilt and its orbit around the sun, and how these cause the seasons year after year. NGSS standards: K-PS3-1, 1-ESS1-1, 1-ESS1-2, 2-ESS1-1. Addresses 21st…
MorePlate 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…
MoreMoon Phases
The relative positions and motions of Earth, Moon, and Sun can be used to explain observable effects such as seasons, eclipses, and moon phases. Students will learn about these motions…
MoreParent Offspring
Students will explore characteristics of living organisms. Students will learn that offspring have characteristics that are similar to, but not exactly like their parents’ characteristics. NGSS standards: K-LS1-1, 1-LS1-2, 1-LS3-1,…
