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 will engage in an electricity and circuitry STEM challenge to design a Wigglebot toy that can produce light and sound while still being able to wiggle.
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 be guided to explore pH indicators and determine the percent composition of substances like vinegar all with materials they can find at home!
