STEM (Science): The Disease Unit-Inquiry Based* The Sneeze Experiment
Inquiry based, STEM targeted experiment for students who are learning about combating disease and bacteria. This lesson allows students to use their math and science skills to understand the importance of disease prevention by covering up their nose and mouth when sneezing. You will need to provide balloons and tape for this experiment.* My fourth graders went through a disease unit last year in our STEM lab, and they loved this project. Happy experimenting!

HALF-LIFE SIMULTION
Most people think of half-life in terms of radioaictve decay. However, it can also refer to drug interactions, pesticides in plants and a plasma half-‐life which is a stability factor. In each case the mathematical equations are similar and produce the typical half-life curve. Using M&Ms to create a simulation of the half-‐life process students create a graph with an exponential curve.
