Cone Zone: A Comprehensive S.T.E.A.M. Activity
Students will design a cone-shaped descent chute for a planetary landing craft to optimize stability and minimize speed in this engaging lesson. This activity lends itself to student scientists of many ages. Young learners will benefit from simply creating the cones and testing their effectiveness. Older students can use spreadsheets that they create to analyze the data on a much more sophisticated level.

Specific Heat Capacity of Water (NGSS PS3-4 Energy)
This resource is a fully differentiated lesson aimed at teaching Physics: Internal Energy and Energy Transfers, and links to heat transfer in materials.
This lesson has 5 learning objectives that become more difficult as you move through them:
*Identify the equation for specific heat capacity.
*Describe the difference between heat and temperature.
*Explain, using a practical, how to find the specific heat capacity for water.
*Apply the equation for specific heat capacity to calculate the am
