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

Punnett Squaures - Mendel Bug Art
When it comes to receiving traits, or characteristics, from your parents it is like rolling a dice. The male can only donate one allele, or half of his DNA, such as blue eyes and the female can only donate one allele, maybe brown eyes. In today’s lesson you will get a random number to see what traits your Mendel Bug will receive. To create your bug there are 4 phases.Phase 1 - Punnett Squares - complete the punnett squares to the right using the maternal and paternal alleles that are givenPhase

Importance of learning science
Learning science is particularly important for students as it equips them with the essential knowledge and skills to make sense of the world around them. Science education is not just about memorizing facts. It fosters critical thinking, inquiry, and problem-solving abilities. These skills are not only useful in school but also in everyday life beyond the classroom.
Benefits of learning science
Learning science offers many benefits to students both in school and beyond. In fact, it helps students:
- Question the world around them and seek evidence-based explanations
- Cultivate their ability to observe, experiment, and analyze data
- Nurture a sense of curiosity, awe, and wonder about the natural world
- Understand natural phenomena and the laws that govern the universe
With a solid foundation in science, teachers can help empower students to think critically, solve problems, make informed decisions, and engage with the world around them in meaningful ways.
Teaching with science resources
One of the best parts about science class is all of the possibilities for hands-on, collaborative learning! Think: labs, experiments, inquiry-based activities, and design challenges. These activities encourage students to explore scientific concepts by observing, asking questions, and conducting investigations. Additionally, with small group centers, students can engage in group experiments, discussions, and projects that require them to collaborate, share ideas, and solve problems together.
