The Peanut Butter Problem [LAB]
The NGSS for Middle School Science requires a lot more thinking of our students than most lab activities require! This lab is not a cookie-cutter type lab but requires students to make observations and collect data to support their ideas. It leans heavily on the SEPs, and is darn fun for students! In this lab activity, students will work as TSA security agents to determine whether or not certain materials can fly in a young person’s carry-on bag. This is inspired by the TSA’s declaration of pean

Shadow Investigation - Exploring the Relationship Between the Sun & Shadows
The first lesson in a series of lessons that explores how people began and continue to tell time on Earth. In this lesson, students build a simple gnoman, the piece of a sundial that creates a shadow. Throughout the day, students track the changes in length and direction of the shadow. After students analyze the relationship, they are asked to build an argument from evidence for how the Sun moves through the sky based on their investigation. This lesson can be done in a variety of ways. I’ve inc
