Tides and Moon Phase Graph Activity using NOAA
Students will develop a graphical model of the Earth-Sun-Moon system to describe the cyclic patterns of lunar phases and how they affect our tides.
NGSS-MSESS1-1
In this activity, students will go to the NOAA website and collect tidal data from a region around the US. Students plot a month of tidal data and predict the moon phases based on how high the high tides are and how low the low tides are (spring vs neap tides). Students are amazed to find that their predictions are right by looking a

Weather Science Excel Computer Project: How Accurate is Your Local Weatherman?
Welcome to my Excel Project about weather. I always do a theme for the year in my computer classes and last year it was weather.
Our Excel project was creating spreadsheets to compare the predictions of 3 local TV station's weathermen to what actually happened according to The Weather Channel or weather.com. I assigned each grade to different TV station and they had to keep tract of the predictions and actual weather for a period of 2 weeks. We included what type of weather was predicted, Sunn

Carbon Footprint Project (FULL BUNDLE!): Chemistry or Environmental Science
This project gives a template for students to calculate their Carbon footprints using skills that are important for Chemistry and/or Environmental Science (e.g. dimensional analysis, understanding the carbon cycle, understanding that different gases have different warming potential, etc). This lays out a comprehensive way to calculate Carbon Footprint particularly at a boarding school in Southern California. You can easily adapt this project for your needs or how much time you'd like to spend on

STEM Air Pollution Personal Survey DATA GRAPHING ACTIVITY MS-ESS3-3 EARTH DAY
Middle school data graphing activity for students to learn about their own impact on air pollution. The activity involves tracking their family car for a week, with privacy measures in place, recording their trips and approximate mileage.Note: If tracking the family car is not feasible for your population, I have included realistic data to be used instead. They then classify the trips into 3 categories; necessary, luxury or semiluxury. Using this data, they do multiple graphing activities t
