Ultraviolet Light Shelter STEM Challenge (Solar Space Science & Engineering)
Ultraviolet Light Shelter Engineering Design Challenge: Updated with digital journals! Students are on a mission to protect an astronaut from ultraviolet light over-exposure in this engaging STEM challenge. Using UV-sensitive beads, students explore how different materials absorb UV light and use the engineering design process to build a UV-safe shelter. This design challenge allows students to work in teams, apply the engineering design process, and connect science topics to real-world applicat

Integers in Science - Word Problems
This activity consists of nine word problems that directly correlate to science topics. Topics included are weather (temperature and barometric pressure), and dynamic earth (earthquakes, volcanoes and ocean floor spreading). Adding and subtracting positive and negative integers are imbedded in every question. There are two problems that have decimals. Visuals (charts, graphs, number lines, thermometers, barometer) accompany each question to help lower level learners. Check out the preview f

Math and Science in Thanatopsis: 6.RP.A.3
The William Cullen Bryant poem “Thanatopsis” serves as a jumping off point for exploring and visualizing the chemical composition of the human body and the Earth. Students continue by exploring the global populations and estimates of the total number of people who have lived. This mission is aligned with Common Core State Standards: 6.RP.A.3.
The fun stuff:
“Thanatopsis” is a romantic, celebratory poem about the cycle of life and death. To be honest, it’s mostly focused on the death part. But i
