Grades |
| Fifth Grade Physical Science - Atoms |
5 to 12 |
 (0 stars, 1 ratings) Using PowerPoint presentations, realia, and various visuals and websites, students will understand that elements are made of atoms, and know the basic structures of an atom (nucleus, electrons, protons, and neutrons). |
| The Amazing Race-Physical Science |
9 to 12 |
(0 stars, 1 ratings) The students will compete in a race around the school while reviewing physical science concepts. |
| The Physics of Sports: An 8th Grade Physical Science Project |
P-K to P-K |
(0 stars, 1 ratings) Many physics concepts and principles of motion can be observed and studied through sporting events. This activity offers you the opportunity to examine these principles using sporting events as examples. For this activity, you may work alone or as a team of two people. We strongly encourage you to work with a partner due to video-recording and due to the amount of time and effort required to create an I-Movie.

| Digital Rube Goldberg Lesson |
P-K to 12 |
(0 stars, 1 ratings) This lesson requires the use of physics, critical thinking skills, creativity, and group collaboration to create a multi-step Rube Goldberg design that begins as a virtual lab and can become a physical project or competition. |
| Lego Mindstorms Robotics |
4 to 12 |
(0 stars, 1 ratings) The 5th, 6th, and 7th grade students of St. Catherine of Siena participate in Lego Mindstorms Robotics Initiative. By designing, building, programming and documenting robot performance, students will use science, engineering technology, mathematics and writing skills in hands-on projects that reinforce their learning.
|
| (PART 1) Applied STEM: Rocketry and its Components |
6 to 8 |
(0 stars, 1 ratings) This unit plan walks students through the entire model rocket design, construction, and test launch phase complete with diverse evaluations and using video technology to view every aspect of a rocket launch. All rockets are homemade - no kits involved. |
| A Snapshot of Science |
6 to 6 |
(0 stars, 1 ratings) Students will demonstrate an understanding of the composition of physical systems and the concepts and principles that describe and predict physical interactions and events in the natural world. This will include chemical reactions and the conservation of matter. |
| Art and Life: Where Do We Use Art? |
9 to 12 |
(0 stars, 1 ratings) This lesson increases the relevance of not only art classes, but also all academic disciplines by engaging the students to research how art is used in all aspects of their education and their lives. They will create videos that will collect factual information and visual examples that will educate the viewers on how art is used in a variety of settings and how historical people and socities have depended on the coexistence of art and non art subjects. |
| Can You See What I See? |
5 to 8 |
(0 stars, 3 ratings) In this lesson, students will take digital pictures to represent various forms of energy and the steps involved in energy transfers and transformations. They will then create a Rebus story that can be solved using these pictures. This activity will bring to life a science concept that is usually difficult to see and understand. |
| Fe Chef |
P-K to P-K |
(0 stars, 1 ratings) Students study the chemistry of cooking and create a cooking video as the culminating project. In the video they describe the science principles associated with their recipe. |
| How Does Your Garden Grow? |
9 to 12 |
| Students will design, plant, and maintain a native plant garden on campus. The garden will serve as an outdoor classroom for lessons in ecology, soil science, and botany. |
| Integrating Video Technology in the Middle School Science Notebooking Process |
8 to 8 |
(0 stars, 1 ratings) Students record video as an extension of the science notebooking process. |
| Newton's Laws for One and All! |
8 to 10 |
(0 stars, 1 ratings) In this unit, students will create a digital portfolio of their learning. Students will collaborate on portions of this unit, while other parts are individual. This unit focuses on learning, applying, and working with Newton’s Laws of Motion. It is a layered curriculum unit which has students progressively building in their understanding and use of the laws. |
| PhotoTalk! |
K to 12 |
| Images communicate without written or spoken speech. Linking images to simple text in the target language is a powerful tool for helping second language learners speak and read! |
| Science Circles Podcast |
5 to 12 |
(0 stars, 3 ratings) Science Circles Podcasts will feature small groups of 3 to 4 students holding round table discussions on weekly science topics. Students will prepare statements presenting their ideas about the topic. A student facilitator will direct the flow of an open, round table discussion after opening ideas are presented. |
| Technology as a Tool of Science |
9 to 12 |
| Digital cameras and Tool Factory will be used in a variety of projects in several classes. The objective is to show students the tools that can assist them in the recording, cataloging and sharing of science information. |
| The Hall of Physicist |
8 to 12 |
(0 stars, 1 ratings) Students will create biographical posters of famous physicist through the ages. |
