What Floats Your Boat?
In this lesson, students will be introduced to the parts of a ship and their correct names. Students will begin to understand the scientific principle of buoyancy and how the different parts of the ship are necessary to make the ship float. In the end, students will use the information obtained to create a ship out of aluminum foil that is capable of floating and carrying a “cargo.”

Building a Watershed
Students build a model showing how water flows through a system and evaluate different management practices to see how they might reduce the amount of marine debris that enters the marine environment. The models in this lesson could be used as a classroom demonstration or traditional lab investigation for students, depending on time efficiency of instructor and students. This lesson may also be shortened by showing students a pre-made model beforehand.

Micro-Plastic Investigation
This activity introduces students to the processes that break marine debris plastic down into small sizes: photodegradation and mechanical degradation. Students assess where particulates are suspended in the water column (premade plastic slurry). Next, the slurry is mixed into a tub of water that is designed to mimic seawater and students take samples to assess the amount, size, and type of the particulates. Students relate this activity to what they might actually find in the ocean. They will a

Build Your Own Underwater Exploration Vehicle
This lesson provides a hands-on way to introduce students to the challenges of underwater research. In groups, students will design and build underwater exploration vehicles from common household/craft materials, and then compete to see which group can successfully retrieve “undersea samples” from a model ocean (2 L bottle full of water) in the fastest time. In doing so, students will learn which shapes, sizes, and features work best to carry out this underwater task – and which don’t! This

Engineering and Technology Fill-in-the-Blank Notes
These fill in the blank notes are meant to correspond with the Engineering and Technology Powerpoint presentation. I use this presentation to introduce basic concepts and vocabulary about engineering and technology. As we go through the presentation, my 6th graders fill in the blanks in their notes. This is also when I kick off the semester project, where students follow the engineering design process to create an invention of their own that repurposes the material, bubble wrap.

Conserve or Develop
In this lesson, students are divided into groups and given a piece of property which they must decide whether to conserve or develop. Each property has a different set of characteristics that make it unique and important to the health of the ecosystem. All of the properties in this lesson are a part of the same watershed, as shown on the first map. Students need to determine what impacts their decision may have on the environment, the species in the surrounding area, and the local community. Th

The Engineering Process Foldable
This foldable is perfect for introducing your students to the steps of the engineering process. I use this resource with the Crash Course Kids Video on the Engineering Process. Students will write a definition or a sentence to help them remember the step and draw a symbol/emoji next to the step as well. The title piece's fill in the blanks are "steps" and "solve problems."I also print this at 75% scale so that it'll fit easily into their interactive notebooks.
