Students were given a copy of the grid listing habitats. Each child was asked to select one square on the grid and then research a list of animals that live in that habitat. They recorded only information for one of the grids. When this was completed, each student shared what they learned with the class, and each student filled in the new section on their chart. Our last task was for the students to complete the exit slip, explaining how this made learning things easier. They all decided it was easier to research part of the information and share.

The following are resources for Liquids, Solids & Gases unit in grade 2 science.

The following resources go with the unit Structures and Materials in grade 3 science.

You are a member of the Habitat Research Team. Your job is to figure out what may happen to habitats when countries or business want to do something in that habitat. When a government or corporation contacts you, they usually have a question or problem about how a habitat is affected by a natural activity or human activity.
The interest of the country or business varies. They may want to build something on the land, find out the effects of a natural disaster on a habitat or want an explanation when they notice the sharp increase or decrease in a population of species of plant or animal.
The Government of the (made up) country of Banglapore (pronounced Bang-la-pour) is looking to build a large number of factories in some of its habitats. Banglapore is an island off the coast of Japan. It is a poor country with a lot of natural resources. Banglapore has a lot of forests (temperate and coniferous) habitats, a mountain range, freshwater habitats, and grasslands habitats. Banglapore wants to use its natural resources to build industry for the country to improve the lives of its citizens.
Your job is to answer the questions of the Banglapore Government and provide any information they need while they plan to build their factories.

The following resources go with the unit Habitats and Communities for grade 4 science.

The following are resources for Rocks, Minerals and Erosions in Grade 4 Science.

The following are resources for the Body Systems unit in Grade 5 Science.

This case will give students the opportunity to explore simple machine and forces in the context of an amusement park. Students will be able to investigate simple machines, the forces found in and around them, and how they make life easier for us. Students will also create two prototype amusement ride using simple machines: one involving levers and the other of their design using at least 2 simple machines. Outcomes FM5.1 and FM5.2 are the focus of this case.
Students have been hired by an amusement park developer who is to create a physics themed amusement park for a rich, eccentric scientist.

This attachment includes unit outlines on the following:
- Life Science – Human Organ Systems
- Physical Science: Properties and Changes of Materials
- Physical Science: Forces and Simple Machines
- Earth and Space Science: Weather

Attached is a unit outline and plan on Flight in grade 6 Science.

Attached is indicators and I can statements for Life Science: Interactions within Ecosystems.

Study the simple machines, Then design and build a compound machine that contains 3 or more simple machines.

This is an activity about sunspots and solar flares. Learners will work collaboratively to create abstracts detailing their knowledge of sunspots and solar flares and then present their work to the entire audience. A background understanding of our Sun and its features is needed prior to starting this activity. This is activity 4 in Exploring Magnetism in Solar Flares.

Science Fair Central, a collaboration between The Home Depot and Discovery Education, aims to support STEAM education in both classrooms and households nationwide, empowering students to prepare for future careers. Explore numerous idea prompts to spark your own scientific inquiries or engineering challenges. Discover projects suitable for family involvement, but note that materials will be necessary.

This artifact demonstrates the development of creativity in my classroom because it required all students to choose an area that interested them and investigate it further by creating their own experiment, using an idea and extending on it from the internet, or researching a topic. Students could choose whatever topic they wanted to. The requirements included following proper scientific methods when designing an experiment or studying a topic. Thus, this did not fall into a particular outcome, rather it was extra practice in developing the scientific method, which is focused on in every Unit of study.
