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

Ecosystems/Ecology Poster Project
This product guides students through the creation of a poster of an ecosystem that illustrates all of the key concepts learned in a unit on ecology. Students begin by drawing abiotic and biotic factors (plants and animals) of an assigned/chosen ecosystem and then add various symbols and labels as they go to illustrate concepts such as food webs, trophic levels, transfer of energy, limiting factors, keystone species, and more. This project assesses student understanding of how ecosystems functio
Energy Sources Environmental Science Sustainability Research Project
This research project involves proposing the best and worst energy source that can be chosen for a new power plant in an imaginary city. Students are given information on the city, such as geographical and climate data. This project suggests students choose from the following energy sources: biomass (municipal solid waste), biomass (wood residue/waste), coal, geothermal, hydroelectric, natural gas, nuclear, oil, solar, or wind. Here is the introduction to the scenario - "The imaginary city of In

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

Model Functional Regions of the Brain using Swim Caps- Common Core and NGSS
Brain caps are a favorite in my Honors Anatomy and Physiology course and a very cool, far less expensive, alternative to brain dissections. Students create a models of cortical structures and functional regions of the brain on one side of a swim cap, and a midsagittal view of deep structures and functional regions of the brain on the other. This project takes a little less than a week to complete, and is fast and easy to grade, plus students end up with the coolest swim cap ever! After caps are
