Animal Group Behavior Project: HS-LS2-8
Do group behaviors in animals increase the survival rates of individual organisms? Students will work in teams to research and create an informative poster for one of the following animal behaviors: flocking, schooling, herding, cooperative hunting, migrating, or swarming. Students share posters in a gallery walk and complete a jigsaw chart summarizing their findings. Finally, students complete a scaffolded CER (Claim-Evidence-Reasoning) to practice engaging in argument from evidence. This Prod

7 Years Later: How Does 3D Printing Filament Last Outdoors?
7 Years ago I started a experiment to see how 3D printing materials last outdoors. This is important as some filaments claim to be biodegradable. Other materials are popular to use outside for gardening projects or other uses. After 7 years of exposure in the Colorado weather, I had to retire this experiment. This report highlights each filament material from PLA, PETG, TPU and other interesting filaments!The companion YT video is now up HERE. You can have your STEM class test this further with
