In this activity, students determine their own eyesight and calculate what a good average eyesight value for the class would be. Students learn about technologies to enhance eyesight and how engineers play an important role in the development of these technologies.

Esta es una lección para el aprendizaje a distancia que los alumnos pueden completar en casa.Los estudiantes evaluarán el impacto del lenguaje sensorial y el lenguaje figurativo en la poesía, y determinarán el significado general del poema utilizando el espacio al aire libre como contexto para la escritura.Esta actividad fue creada por Out Teach (out-teach.org), una organización sin fines de lucro que proporciona aprendizaje experiencial al aire libre, con el objetivo de transformar la educación de las ciencias para los estudiantes en comunidades más desatendidas.

Student groups create working radios by soldering circuit components supplied from AM radio kits. By carrying out this activity in conjunction with its associated lesson concerning circuits and how AM radios work, students are able to identify each circuit component they are soldering, as well as how their placement causes the radio to work. Besides reinforcing lesson concepts, students also learn how to solder, which is an activity that many engineers perform regularly giving students a chance to be able to engage in a real-life engineering activity.

Students conduct a simple experiment to model and explore the harmful effects of acid rain (vinegar) on living (green leaf and eggshell) and non-living (paper clip) objects.

Students construct rockets from balloons propelled along a guide string. They use this model to learn about Newton's three laws of motion, examining the effect of different forces on the motion of the rocket.

Students practice writing sentences with both adjectives and adverbs by combining three sentences.

Students practice writing sentences with both adjectives and adverbs by combining three sentences.

Students practice using adverbs by rewriting sentences, changing the underlined adjective to an adverb.

Students practice deciding whether an adjective or an adverb is needed by filling in the blank with one of the provided options.

Students practice using adjectives and adverbs by rewriting sentences, choosing between the provided adverb and adjective.

Students learn to write descriptive sentences using adjectives, adverbs, and prepositional phrases in this teacher-led lesson.

Students are introduced to air masses, with an emphasis on the differences between and characteristics of high- versus low-pressure air systems. Students also hear about weather forecasting instrumentation and how engineers work to improve these instruments for atmospheric measurements on Earth and in space.

Students learn how nanoparticles can be creatively used for medical diagnostic purposes. They learn about buckminsterfullerenes, more commonly known as buckyballs, and about the potential for these complex carbon molecules to deliver drugs and other treatments into the human body. They brainstorm methods to track buckyballs in the body, then build a buckyball from pipe cleaners with a fluorescent tag to model how nanoparticles might be labeled and detected for use in a living organism. As an extension, students research and select appropriate radioisotopes for different medical applications.
