Generate electricity with a bar magnet! Discover the physics behind the phenomena by exploring magnets and how you can use them to make a bulb light.
A set of questions that can be used for a variety of ages in a variety of settings.
These are very useful if students are all working on different activities!
Individually research a genetic disorder or issue in our society. You will be presenting these to the class.
Foundational Learning Objective 3.2 (discussing examples of current uses of DNA in agriculture and pharmaceutical industries)
Foundational Learning Objective 2.9 (Discuss several human genetic disorders)
Foundational Learning Objective 3.3 (discuss the techniques of genetic screening).
Ideas and Content, Organization, Presentation
Students will explore hybridization, selective breeding and genetic Physical Science through a jigsaw approach. Then they will go through a series of articles that help them formulate their own opinions about genetic manipulation. Lastly, they will debate the merits of genetic manipulation as a class.
Students will construct an argument based on evidence regarding their position on genetically modified organisms (GMOs). Students will conduct an inquiry investigation in Mendelian genetics using Wisconsin Fast Plants.
In this video collaboration from Khan Academy and 23andMe, you'll learn about the basics of cells, chromosomes, and the genes contained in your DNA.

In this video collaboration from Khan Academy and 23andMe, you'll find out why women don't have a Y chromosome. Even with no Y, women can still learn about their paternal ancestry with genetic testing from services like 23andMe.
Sometimes trail blazers of science aren't famous like Darwin or Pasteur. Sometimes they're humble Abbots, just growing peas in the back of their Abbey. This is the story of Gregor Mendel and how his work was done, lost, then found again.
"This tool allows you to create presentations, infographics, video presentations, resumes, and more.
It includes many templates with access to photos, animations, and illustrations giving the user the ability to make any image or text interactive.
Content can be shared through a link or downloaded.
Teachers can make materials to share with students or other teachers, and students can use to build resumes or design a product for summative assessment." (AASL)
The gamification options look really good within this tool. You (or your students) can make a variety of different games to test content.
There are some great product choices in here to demonstrate learning.
Christmas is coming and the kids are getting EXCITED! To keep them focused and motivated young scientists during this crazy time of year, here are 24 days of fun Christmas STEM Activities.
It’s kind of like a STEM Advent Calendar of learning for the month of December! Included are lots of cool science, tech, math and engineering activities to keep little ones busy.
