Ultraviolet Light Shelter STEM Challenge (Solar Space Science & Engineering)
Ultraviolet Light Shelter Engineering Design Challenge: Updated with digital journals! Students are on a mission to protect an astronaut from ultraviolet light over-exposure in this engaging STEM challenge. Using UV-sensitive beads, students explore how different materials absorb UV light and use the engineering design process to build a UV-safe shelter. This design challenge allows students to work in teams, apply the engineering design process, and connect science topics to real-world applicat

Deer Population Simulation - Biotic and Abiotic Factors within an Ecosystem
Students will conduct their own population study with a population size of 100 deer. They will be exposing their deer to factors that they commonly encounter in their natural ecosystems and will be evaluating how it impacts the deer population by spinning a wheel and documenting the population changes based on biotic and abiotic factors. Lesson prep:Distribute materials (paper copy of worksheet, pencils if necessary)Read directions with studentsModel the example problemReview classroom behavior

Candy Geology activity
This activity allows students to explore the career of an exploration geologist, specifically how they must often make estimates based on field work to recommend mine placement for the recovery of economic minerals. This activity uses candy to simulate the "hidden" ore minerals - I have designed this for use with fun-sized packages of M&Ms, but it could be modified for use with any assorted colorful candy. The important part is that the students cannot see the candy for the first step of the

Modeling Using Contour Lines
Students can use this hands-on activity to help them understand maps and more specifically contour lines. Students will be able to work independently to create a model of a mountain using the concept of contour lines. The independent aspect of this activity allows students to be creative and use their imagination to initially create a 2D drawing of their mountain and to ultimately create a 3D rendering of the mountain they created in their mind.
