Students calculate the mass, volume, and densities of both regular and irregular shaped objects.

Students will work in collaborative teams to construct models to show various aspects of Earth.

Students read an article about an earthquake in Japan and then answer a series of questions in order to consider the impact of the effects of the earthquake.

Students observe and understand motion of a projectile launched horizontally. They will apply kinematics equations to data to determine the time of flight, velocity with which the ball leaves the table, and the acceleration on the ramp.

Students will construct 2 ellipses, and examine and measure them to determine some of the fundamental properties of ellipses.

Students measure the changes in temperature in reactions and then determine whether or not the reaction is endo- or exothermic.

Students will plot earthquake data on a map and use it to determine where the epicenters of the earthquakes were located.

Students graph the loss in glacier thickness of three benchmark glaciers since 1965.

Students observe how temperature changes when jars are left in a sunny window. They will then relate their observations to the greenhouse effect.

Students will differentiate between the good and bad ozone, locate the position in the atmosphere where the good and bad ozone reside, plot monthly ozone data, and understand the ground level ozone effects on humans and plants.

Students will practice using Punnett Squares to determine traits of children. Students will determine genotypes and phenotypes of parents and children, use percentages to show how often certain genotypes and phenotypes will be seen in the children, and match a child with its parents based on their genotypes.

Students will use data to plot the path of a hurricane onto a map and then analyze the data and map to better understand hurricane formation.

Students will investigate a reaction of a salt, copper(II) chloride and aluminum metal. They will use some concepts and skills already learned as well as developing their skills of observation, inference, and inquiry.

Students will practice drawing isotherms and isobars and locating air masses and areas of different pressures.

Students will create a simple model of natural selection. Then, they will have a better understanding of how natural selection changes a population.

Students will investigate how temperature affects molecules and relate it to the science of Chinook winds, microbursts, and hurricanes.

Students use a flashlight and lollipop to model how the moon's orbit causes the moon phases.
