Description |
| So . . . il Pick You! | This is a Project-Based Learning Project, intended for second grade. It can be adapted and changed for other grades. |
| Candy Homes | In this project based learning experience, students explore and sort different candies based on their physical properties and how they can be altered and changed. They will determine which properties of the candy would be most beneficial to build a successful home/structure. Students will create a model of their home using their chosen candy and support their choice by writing an opinion and preparing a presentation. |
| Home is Where the Heart Is: Researching Habitats | In this lesson, students will learn about different types of habitats as they gather information based on research questions. Students will summarize the information from their research in an expository paragraph and create a diorama to present their habitat to their peers. |
| What Am I? A Human Body Riddle Book | In this lesson, students will be able to identify and describe the function of major body parts by listening to a book and using an interactive tutorial. Students will then use their knowledge to create a student-made riddle book.
|
| Ants in Your Pants! - Part 4 | Students will take their research and turn it into an expository writing piece about ants. They will learn about how to structure a five paragraph text and what needs to be present in each paragraph. Students will take this text through the writing process, ending with a published piece that they can share with the class. |
| The Perils of a Plant: Watering Can - An Engineering Design Challenge | This Engineering Design Challenge is intended to help students apply the concepts of life cycles, the understanding that all living things have basic needs, a knowledge of habitats and practice working with money as they build and experiment with containers to meet the water needs of bean plants in all stages of their life cycle. It is not intended as an initial introduction to these concepts. |
| Tadpole Habitat - An Engineering Design Challenge | This engineering design challenge is intended to help students apply the concepts of life cycles, the understanding that all living things have basic needs, build on their knowledge of habitats, and practice working with money as they build structures to meet the needs of a tadpole. It is not intended as an initial introduction to these concepts. |
| Three Pigs 2.0 - An Engineering Design Challenge | This Engineering Design Challenge is intended to help students apply the concepts of force from SC.2.P.13.1 (investigate the effect of applying various pushes and pulls on different objects) and the concept of wind from SC.2.E.7.4 (investigate that air is all around us and that moving air is wind) as they build structures to withstand the force of high-speed winds. It is not intended as an initial introduction to these concepts. |
| Three Billy Goats Gruff Build a Bridge - An Engineering Design Challenge | This Engineering Design Challenge is intended to help students apply the concepts of force as they build bridges to hold the greatest load. It is also intended to help students apply the concepts of money as they strive to construct the most cost effective bridge. It is not intended as an initial introduction to these concepts. |
| Lighthouses and Lenses - An Engineering Design Challenge | This Engineering Design Challenge is intended to help students apply the concepts of force , the concept of wind energy, and practice working with a budget as they build structures to withstand the force of high-speed winds. The first day's lesson also provides practice in recognizing and drawing shapes. It is not intended as an initial introduction to these concepts. |
| Ants in your Pants! - Part 3 | Now that your students have become interested in this amazing animal, it is time to learn more by starting a research project. Students will use multiple sources and a graphic organizer to record new facts about ants in preparation to complete an expository writing piece in the next lesson. |
| Cover Your Mouth and Wash Your Hands: Informational Text on Germs | In this multi-day lesson, students will read informational texts on germs, learn how germs are spread, and ways to avoid getting sick. The students will create a detail web using relevant details from each text and will then write an expository paper explaining what they have learned. The students will also participate in a guided class discussion. |
