Gravity and Orbits PhET Simulation
Students use a PhET computer simulation of the Earth and Sun orbit to see how different variables affect the orbit and the force of gravity between the two objects. In this computer model, students change variables (mass and distance) of the Earth and Sun to see how they affect the force of gravity and the orbit of the Earth. In the first part of the activity, students observe the Earth’s orbit around the sun under ”normal” conditions. In part 2, students look at the relationship between mass a

Modeling Earth's Interior Lab/Activity
Students use the Inferred Properties of Earth’s Interior Diagram to build a to scale model of Earth’s Interior. Students really enjoy the process of creating their own model and building their own density column. But, if short on supplies, this can also be used as a whole class demo. Students are able to visualize each layer of Earth’s interior: Lithosphere, Asthenosphere, Stiffer Mantle, Outer Core and Inner Core. They will better understand the relationships between depth, density, temperature

Build A Terrarium (digital version) Ecosystem
I searched high and low to find an online resource that would allow my students to build a digital terrarium. I couldn't find one. So, I built one using Google Slides. The first slide is their terrarium container. The second slide is the clip art that I found, so students could build their terrarium on the first slide by copying and pasting the clip art on the second slide.
