| What We Don't See |
2 to 4 |
(0 stars, 1 ratings) This lesson integrates science and technology in an effort to illustrate the parts of a plant that we do not see. Students will use a digital microscope to create still images of plant parts, then create slideshow presentations to demonstrate their findings. |
| What's Living in the Water? |

(0 stars, 1 ratings) A lab to help better understand how traits are controlled by genes using drosophila fruit flies. |
| Cell Community |
7 to 7 |
(0 stars, 1 ratings) Students design a "cell community" as a visual analogy of the structure and function of a cell. |
| CSI Podcasts |
P-K to P-K |
(0 stars, 3 ratings) Students will create a reference library of podcasts to help them solve crime scenes and later review for tests. |
| CSI: Native America |
5 to 6 |
| This is an interdisciplinary inquiry unit based on a true incident involving the death of the last Native American in an Indiana County. Students will use CSI problem solving skills to draw conclusions concerning the case. |
| Defining the Difference Between Prokaryotic and Eukaryotic Cells--An alternative to direct instruction. |
7 to 12 |
(0 stars, 2 ratings) This inquiry based lesson plan helps students define the difference between prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells using microscopes (one equiped with a camera), a smart board and a powerpoint/pictures of prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells (slides). |
| Document Camera Captures Bacteria Growth |
7 to 11 |
| Students will learn how to isolate a colony of bacteria, as modeled by the teacher using a document camera. |
| Ecosystem Study |
9 to 12 |
(0 stars, 2 ratings) An indepth inquiry based study of an ecosystem and how humans impact over time. |
| Exploring the cellular basis of life using real life object for project |
10 to 12 |
(0 stars, 1 ratings) This lesson is intended to familiarize students with different categories of cells. Emphasis will be placed on the comparison and contrast of plant and animals cells and the structures within them. They will explore the real world of cells by exploring using the digital microscopy. This concept will integrate with technology based hands on with the students as they engage doing a cell project out of the real object.
|
| Finding Your NOOK (TM) in the Classroom |
9 to 12 |
(0 stars, 2 ratings) The Barnes and Noble's NOOK will allow students in my classroom to access e-books, digital resources, educational apps, and more. The sky is the limit! |
| Flip into Technology! |
6 to 12 |
(0 stars, 1 ratings) Students use Flip cameras to gather information and integrate it into any classroom activity. |
| Fractals in Nature |
P-K to P-K |
(0 stars, 1 ratings) Students will be introduced to the concept of fractals and look at examples of fractals, find fractals in nature, and create fractal cut outs. |
| Growing STEM Minds Through the Growing Gardens |
9 to 12 |
(0 stars, 2 ratings) The nexus of our STEM activities revolves around our urban gardening center surrounding the school. The STEM activities will reach across all the subject areas including English, History, Science, Engineering, Technology and Math classes at our school. |
| Heads or Tails? Studying Regeneration in Planaria |
10 to 12 |
(0 stars, 1 ratings) Students will brainstorm stem cells, help create a concept map, and view a video lecture or clip prior to performing an experiment (found at HHMI's Biointeractive site) in which they investigate regeneration in Planaria. They will relate this flatworm's ability to regenerate to stem cell study. |
| Invasion of the Germs: We Fight Back! |
3 to 4 |
(0 stars, 2 ratings) The news today can be scary for our children hearing the stories of the H1N1 virus. This unit will teach common, quality health practices to serve our community and remove fear and uncertainty out of this disease. Personal hygiene, scientific investigation and fun will mesh in this unit for 4th grade students entitled “Invasion of the Germ: We fight back”. The students will investigate hygiene and determine what habits will help their bodies fight infections. They will create clay animation videos with podcasts to teach younger students and our community how to fight germs and the H1N1 virus. |
| Mystery Game |
P-K to 3 |
(0 stars, 2 ratings) Use a Karaoke Machine, a digital projector (or smart board technology), speakers, computer, document camera, Digital Microscope, Digital Camera to determine if an item is living or nonliving according to its physical characteristics. |
| Our Place In The Rio Grande Rift Valley Watershed |
6 to 8 |
(0 stars, 1 ratings) An arroyo that bisects our campus is the setting for student groups to explore the influence of flora, fauna, humans, land, water, and weather in this watershed environment. Students will use flip cameras and digital still cameras to document their observations and create digital presentations. |
| River Reflections |
3 to 11 |
(0 stars, 1 ratings) Students have been conducting river studies for over five years in 6th grade. A true reflection of the experience is necessary for true learning. Writing advocacy projects and sharing them through podcasting helps to reflect on the experience. |
| What in the World..?!? |
3 to 5 |
| You don't need to be able to read to love science, computers, and photography. My special education students will use these materials to create their own photographic "I Spy" books during our What in the World..?!? photo project. Using picture symbol software and photographs, students can address all content areas including math, reading, writing, technology, and science. |
| Zoom into Microscopy |
6 to 8 |
(0 stars, 1 ratings) Students will use digital cameras to document their inquiries into microscopic life. Digital images will be used to assemble picture books that show the detail of an organism as seen with the human eye, through a hand lens, and at each power of the microscope. |
