Exploring Nature: STEM / STEAM Outdoor Investigation - What it Takes To Survive
Your kids will explore structures and their functions as they take a close look at plants and animals that are found right outside their home or school. They'll learn from a very young girl in Ecuador how, like her, they can be real citizen-scientists in their communities. They will plan and investigate, hands-on, what is needed for a seed to sprout and grow. In the process they will naturally apply math and measurement, learn to isolate and test variables, and analyze and interpret their own da

SPECIAL FX - A DESIGN BRIEF
This challenge presents an opportunity for students to design and conduct a fair test investigation, to gather accurate data about the physical abilities of a living organism and to make reasonable interpretations of collected data. In addition, the students will also be expected to correctly apply the formula for computing speed and to develop a method for comparing the speed of the organism to that of a human.

Geometry Animal Coat Patterns PowerPoint Thematic Unit Plan | Distance Learning
This study reveals the wonder and mathematical beauty behind the variations in animal coat patterns. Animals exhibit a variety of bodily colorations, patterns, and markings. Some are useful as camouflage and others for visual warnings that the bearer may be dangerous in a non-obvious way. Learn about two biologists, Alan Turing (1919 - 1954) and Edward Bagnall Poulton (1856 - 1943) who both contributed greatly to the mathematics and science behind animal coat patterns.What's included:17-slide Po
