Students will develop questions about the industry while looking at a photo of shark fins removed from living sharks, and eventually come to understand the environmental effects of shark finning.
Students will be guided to explore pH indicators and determine the percent composition of substances like vinegar all with materials they can find at home!
This unit will introduce students to tectonic plates. Students will develop questions after viewing satellite images showing uplift along the coast of New Zealand from 2010 to 2016.
Students discover the mechanics of concussions, test and evaluate different helmet materials, and walk away with a better understanding of how future technologies can make athletic play safer.
Students will analyze the effect of forces on a brain model, gather collision data from tested materials, and go through the engineering process to design a new helmet.
Students will learn how antibodies are used in enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISA) and will determine whether or not their patient has contracted the malaria parasite.
Students will compare the DNA fragment(s) in a sample of DNA from a package of fins to great white and porbeagle shark DNA controls to determine if your unidentified fin is from a great white shark.

Explore Newton’s Second Law of Motion and see it in action! Build a rocket out of a balloon and straw to see how mass affects the acceleration of an object!
Explore transmission, absorption, and reflection of waves! Build a wave machine to investigate how different materials (mediums) react to a wave to create these wave behaviors!
