The Electric Home - Electricity PBL Project
Science, Physics, Grade 8, 9, 10, Activities, Projects
I created this unit because I wanted to inject some real-life information into our electricity unit which is usually just filled with notes, worksheets, and other activities. I decided instead to do a flipped unit whereby I'd provide my students with all their notes ahead of time then use our class time to work on our project. This project will work very well for a wide range of grades as it can be easily tailored to fit your class. It's fully editable so you can add, remove, or change anything that you don't think will fit well with your class. To ensure it meets your classroom needs, I've included two different submission and marking criteria. One pair for lower levels and one for higher-level learners. Furthermore, this project can be given to different grade levels and all that needs to be altered are the teacher's expectations and standards while marking. Myinspirationfor this unit is the company, Tesla. I'm a self-proclaimed fanboy of the company and love their innovations and their desire for a greener future. However, as your students progress through this unit, they will discover other means of energy production, storage, and use. The project is broken down into two parts. The first part has the students researching the creation, use, and storage of solar energy. This should take between 8-12 days. The second part involves them putting that knowledge to use as they create a tangible representation of what they've learned. For this portion of the project, I gave them 3 class periods plus 10 days at home for a total of 11-15 class periods plus 10 additional days at home. This project covers the following NGSS: • MS-PS3-2 • MS-PS3-3 • HS-PS3-1 • HS-PS3-2 • HS-PS3-3 • HS-PS3-5 • MS-ESS3-3 • HS-ESS3-4 I also require that they share their Google Drive Project folder with me so that I could periodically check in on their progress. You may want to assign a grade for this as well. Their Unit This electricity unit is a mix of content and project-based learning (PBL) with an emphasis on PBL. Students will get the majority of class time to work on their project. During this time, you will have access to Chromebooks (netbooks,ipads, etc.) and will be given time to design and think about their model. You may also build during this time as well. Project Marks: - Poster - Model Research Component - ONE component will be looked at every 2 to 3 days. - If they finish before the allocated time ends, encourage them to keep working - Dive deeper into their research - Find pictures and paste them into their Doc - Find relevant videos and include them in their Doc I hosted this project on myGoogle Classroom site. If you're not familiar with Google Classroom, check out my post where I show you how to get your Google Classroom set up in 3 minutes . I highly recommend Google Classroom plus, it's free! For this project, I have my students working in groups of 2. If they miss a day, it's very easy to stay up-to-date via our Google Classroom site. To ensure students weren't rushing ahead, I would only upload the files below when we were ready to move on. I allocated between 2-3 days per "Day" below depending on the speed my students were working. • The Electric Home - Overview and Day 1 • The Electric Home - Day 2 • The Electric Home - Day 3 • The Electric Home - Day 4 • The Electric Home - Final Submission • The Electric Home - Rubric Each file is fully editable and is included in your download. This project will provide your students with a real-life example of green electricity use that they will keep with them after they leave your class.

Exploring the Solar System Project - Middle School Space
Science, Earth and Environmental Sciences, Space, Grade 6, 7, 8, Activities, Projects
Blast off on an exciting expedition through our cosmic neighborhood with this immersive 6-part solar system project! Students will embark on a journey of discovery to expand their knowledge of the planets that orbit our sun. The adventure begins by surveying key characteristics of the planets. Students will compare and contrast attributes like composition, size, moons, and more using interactive charts. These activities will build a foundation of knowledge about our stellar surroundings. Each student will then adopt an alien identity from one of the planets. Their mission is to gather intelligence about their new home world to create an engaging planetary fact file. This top-secret document will contain maps of unique features, details about survival in extreme conditions, and the planet's orbital path. Students will encrypt their findings in informative infographics. The quest continues as student aliens form contacts with beings from other worlds. In their teams, they will decipher similarities and differences between their planets using techniques like Venn diagrams. Patterns between planetary traits will become clearer. The students will then band together to design hidden settlements tailored to their adopted planet's environment. Infrastructure, culture, geography, and survival needs will dictate the layout of these extraterrestrial cities. Teams will create coded maps, diagrams, and written records to conceal their covert communities. Immersing themselves in alien personas, students will log journal entries chronicling daily life on their assigned planets. By pretending to inhabit these cosmic spheres, perspectives will be broadened. Finally, the project concludes by welcoming visitors to an intergalactic Planets Fair. Student aliens will showcase their classified findings by hosting creative exhibits about the celestial bodies we call neighbors. This galactic get-together celebrates exploration of the wonders in our solar system and beyond!

This is an Ocean Animal Report utilizing the TIDE format. Included in this file you will find a parent letter about the project, prompts for each paragraph, TIDE graphic organizers for three paragraphs of informative writing along with writing paper for the first drafts of each, a blank page for them to create a cover for the report, a page for pictures of the ocean animal, final draft paper, an example of completed organizers and a final draft to match, and a couple of rubric options for both writing and/or oral presentation. The three paragraphs will address: • Why students chose the ocean animal they chose • A few basic facts about the ocean animal (e.g., habitat, diet, physical description) • A few cool or unique facts about the ocean animal Generally, this project takes my students about 4-5 days to complete. The oral presentation takes another day or two. I send home the parent letter a week in advance. I’ve done this with both second and third graders and found it to work well for both. Here’s a further breakdown of the paragraphs: Paragraph One Writing Prompt : Write an informative paragraph explaining why you chose the ocean animal you chose for your report. Paragraph Two Writing Prompt: Write an informative paragraph explaining three basic facts about your ocean animal (e.g., diet, habitat, physical characteristics). Paragraph Three Writing Prompt: Write an informative paragraph explaining three unique facts about your ocean animal (e.g., speed, communication, lifestyle). This resource is a thorough and engaging way to build research and writing skills.

Animal Project: Creative Creatures - Biomes, Structural, and Behavioral Adaptations
Science, Life Sciences, Biology, Earth and Environmental Sciences, Environmental Science, Grade 4, 5, 6, 7, Activities, Projects
Here's a middle grades science project (for grades 4-7) that will let your students use their creativity to apply their knowledge of biomes and adaptations as they complete research, integrate knowledge from several sources, type a report, and make a detailed diagram! How to Use: Assign each student an animal or let them chose their own. They need to research that animal’s biome and the adaptations the animal currently has. Next, each student chooses a different biome and moves their animal there. They must use their imagination and logic to predict the adaptations the animal would develop in the new biome. Once each student has completed their notes, they can type or write a report to present the information. I encouraged my students to make a four-paragraph report: Paragraph one: describe initial biome Paragraph two: describe initial adaptations Paragraph three: describe new biome Paragraph four: describe new adaptations Students also create their own visual image of their creative creature (labels encouraged). I like to put all the reports and images together into a class book. This is fun way to showcase the students’ hard work. I have included the title page I use for our class book. I have also included the rubric I use to assess the projects. Graces to Use With: This product is appropriate for students in grades 4-7 depending on when your science curriculum includes biomes, structural/physical and behavioural adaptations, or diversity of life standards. What's Included: A total of 6 pages in PDF Format: - Lesson ideas, links and videos to teach students about biomes and structural and behavioural adaptations. - A 2-page graphic organizer for students to take notes as they complete research. - A rubric to assess the final project. - A title page for your completed class book.
