Document: Cooking With The Sun Organize students into small groups. Have each group research a solar cooker design on the internet and then build a solar cooker based on that design. Have students use their solar cooker to cook foods for a class picnic.

Document: ScienceUnit2Template-Forces-1 Abstract:  This unit provides the students with an opportunity to develop an understanding of the physical ideas and concepts that were developed during the seventeenth century by Sir Isaac Newton.  Throughout the unit the students are constantly asked to explain familiar phenomena and situations by utilizing the concepts of force, momentum, work, mass, acceleration, and velocity.

Document: Science Unit 3 (Revised)-4 Abstract: Unit three is Exploring Change, specifically bonds, energy, and reactions. The change to be investigated will include indicators of chemical reactions as they relate to chemical bonding and energy changes. Chapters 7 and 8 cover ionic and covalent bonding respectively, while chapters 9 and 19 are the introduction to stoichiometry, chemical reactions. Again, a review...

Document: Nitrogen Cycle Activity Abstract: Each small group of students is given a set of materials including the 20 objects (black and white), 20 picture-cards, 20 nitrogen cycle component explanation cards, the 20 title cards for each nitrogen cycle component, heading cards for different environments such as the atmosphere, soil, water, etc., and many small arrows

Document: Succession Worksheet Abstract: Succession, a series of environmental changes, occurs in all ecosystems.  The stages that any ecosystem passes through are predictable.  In this activity, you will place the stages of succession of two ecosystems into sequence.  You will also describe changes in an ecosystem and make predictions about changes that will take place from one stage of succession to...

Document: Food Web Mobile Assignment Abstract: At the conclusion of the lesson, students will be able to: explain the main concepts of food webs and food chains. Describe the role of animals, plants, and other organisms in cycling energy and matter. Through a food web. Demonstrate this energy cycle by constructing model food chains and food webs. Predict what might happen if...

Document: Effects of a Closed Environment Lab Activity-1 Abstract: We must understand the interdependent relationships between photosynthesis and animal respiration before we can proceed in developing systems that will allow long term survival in space. Utilizing the processes of photosynthesis and respiration, students investigate living organisms in a closed environment.
