Adding Creativity to Science Inquiry |
6 to 12 |
![](/images/lesson_gear_one_star.jpg) (0 stars, 2 ratings) Students create flip videos that enhance scientific investigations performed in class by having students think metacognitively while fusing the fun of creativity with the science of analytical thinking. |
CSI: Chemistry Student Investigators |
10 to 12 |
![](/images/lesson_gear_one_star.jpg) (0 stars, 1 ratings) Students master scientific inquiry skills as they design investigations to solve mysteries based on scientific concepts, use hand held computers and digital cameras to capture data generated in their investigations, and use Tool Factory software to compile data and lab reports to create electronic lab journals.

It's Challenging Being Green! |
3 to 5 |
Students will delve into botany by planting a seed and watching it grow or die based on what they do to take care of it. Prior knowledge of human anatomy and physiology will be the entry point as students connect these two very different areas of biology. By the end of the unit, students will be able to defend plant conservation the way they could any other organism they study. Ultimately, students should have increased awareness of the lack of green spaces in urban areas and the need for more parks and gardens |
Many Hands Make Miraculous Mechanisms |
4 to 6 |
![](/images/lesson_gear_one_star.jpg) (0 stars, 1 ratings) e-NABLE is a global online community of 3000 individuals (and growing daily!) who are using 3D printing technology to create free 3D printed hands and arms for those in need. Volunteers from all religious and political backgrounds, races, ages, occupations, cultures and educational levels from around the world are coming together to work for the greater good and make a difference in the lives of many by using their talents, creativity and ideas to produce assistive devices for underserved populations and individuals who were born missing portions of their upper limbs or have lost fingers and arms due to war, disease or natural disaster. Our class wants to build these devices to Make a Difference! |
Sea Scallop Data Mining Research Project |
10 to 12 |
![](/images/lesson_gear_one_star.jpg) (0 stars, 1 ratings) Students develop a research question and then gather the data to answer that question using the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's Sea Scallop Survey database. Students present the results in a formal classroom presentation and a scientific poster session which is open to the public. |
Teching Up the Nature of Science |
2 to 5 |
![](/images/lesson_gear_one_star.jpg) (0 stars, 1 ratings) Fourth grade GPS Standards:S4CS8. Students will understand important features of the process of scientific inquiry & S4CS7. Students will be familiar with the character of scientific knowledge and how it is achieved. Students will explore these standards while keeping a video diary of developing results & an online log for their peers to "question" as well. |
The Effects of Chemical and Physical Weathering on Gravestones |
5 to 5 |
![](/images/lesson_gear_one_star.jpg) (0 stars, 1 ratings) Students will visit the historical Magnolia Cemetery located in Augusta, Georgia to record digital pictures of the effects of weathering and erosion on gravestones.Students will take pictures and, using previously learned chemical and physical weathering concepts learning in class and recorded in their science journals, create a Prezi or a Glogster media presentation. |
Trees For Trout! |
4 to 4 |
Classroom project that incorporates forestry and fish to investigate the lifecycle of trout and the effects of forest practices on them. |
Windsor Opposes Waste - WOW! |
2 to 6 |
