This video discusses the difference between chemical and physical changes.
In this lesson, students will make observations and inferences about the different structures and functions of plant physiology through a hands-on cycle of exploration. Students will rotate through a series of varied stations.
In this lesson, students will collect and analyze data on the journey of a mineral through a model of the rock cycle. Students will understand the changes that rocks undergo through the rock cycle and how they relate to surface and subsurface events.
In this lesson, students are introduced to the concept of an invasive species, the Burmese python, and its impact on other animal populations in an ecosystem. Students will explore the impact that competition and predation have on native populations due to the introduction of an invasive species.
In this lesson, students will be able to describe and model the basic process of DNA replication and how it relates to the transmission and conservation of the genetic information. Students will describe the function of models in science and how they are helpful to the study of DNA.
In this lesson, students will collect and analyze data on the kinetic energy of molecules through the different states of matter. Throughout the lab, students will be modeling the process of adding and removing energy from matter which leads to phase changes.

This video discusses the three states of matter and the effect when heat or pressure is applied to matter and causes a change in phase.

In this lesson, students will conduct an investigation in which they will infer what affects the temperature on the inner planets using a student made model. Students will understand that the atmosphere or lack of atmosphere affects the temperature of these planets.
In this lesson, students will measure the mass of several objects which will represent "fossils." Each object's mass will represent a specific age of the object. Students will gain an understanding of how scientists use absolute dating to accurately determine the age of objects and how relative dating is used to generally determine the age of objects.
In this lesson, students will observe, explain, and model reflection and refraction through a series of inquiry light stations. Students will engage and perform different challenges to obtain knowledge about how light reflects off of surfaces and how light is refracted when changing mediums.
This video explains how the relative motion of the sun, Earth, and moon affect the phases of the moon and lunar eclipses.
This video explains how the relative motion of the sun, Earth, and moon affect the phases of the moon and lunar eclipses.
In this lesson, students will analyze population graphs, collect data to generate their own population graph, and experience limiting factors and their impact on carrying capacity in a small deer population. Students will be able to identify, explain, and evaluate the impact that different limiting factors have on the population of organisms including food, water, shelter, predation, human interference, changes in birth and death rate, changes in immigration and emigration, disease, and reproduction.
This video discusses atoms and how they make up all matter.

In this lesson, students will design an experiment to observe the products of photsynthesis in a lab setting. Students will use a model of photosynthesis to make predictions about the outcomes of manipulating the inputs for photosynthesis.
