An Alien Periodic Table
Students construct a periodic table based on the physical and chemical properties of elements. In this chemistry lesson, students share their work with the class and explain why they classified the elements that way.

Effects of Temperature, Deviation on Climate
Students collect and record data for a given city. They calculate standard deviation of temperature and analyze the impact of climate changes on a city's and culture.
Curated OER
Displaying Data
Students create a display map with data from a previous lesson. They incorporate graduated marks that identify areas of the school grounds that are good for planting based on density.

Ducklings
The class gets their mean and median all in a row with an assessment task that uses a population of ducklings to work with data displays and measures of central tendency. Pupils create a frequency chart and calculate the mean and median....
Beyond Benign
Water Bottle Unit
How much plastic do manufacturers use to create water bottles each year? The class explores the number of water bottles used throughout the years to determine how many consumers will use in the future. Class members compare different...
