First Grade
*Parts of a Plant - S1L1a
Students should be able to identify the parts of a plant. They will
be able to describe how different plant types have parts with
unique characteristics. Students will also be able to discuss the
need for plants and trees and how they contribute to human life.

but also as a way to communicate directions, warning signals, etc.

Second Grade
*Lots of Life Cycles - S2L1a,d
Organisms develop in a cycle, and these cycles have many
similarities and differences.

*Rosie Revere’s Flying Machine- Force
and Motion - S2P2 a, b, c
Students will listen to the story Rosie Revere Engineer by Andrea
Beaty read by NASA astronauts. Students will then work through the
Engineering Design Process to design a flying machine for Rosie
Revere. Students will build a simple “flying” machine as they
investigate aspects of force and motion.

*Bee a Pollinator - S2L1c
Students will explore the inside of a honeybee hive and see the
worker bees, queen, and drones. They will also get an up-close
view at the life cycle of a honeybee and the body parts of a
honeybee as they search for the queen.

*Mystery Matter - S2P1a
Explain to students that they are now going to work in groups to
classify objects as solids, liquids, or gases

Third Grade
*Hiding in Plain Sight - S3L1b
*Fossils and Extinction - S3E2a
*Splendid Soil - S3E2b

Fourth Grade
*Zip to It - S4P3b
*Up Periscope - S4P1b
*Simple Machines Challenge! - S4P3a, b, c
*Sound Investigation - S4P2a, b

*Rosie Revere’s Flying Machine- Force and Motion - S4P3a, b, c
Students will listen to the story Rosie Revere Engineer by Andrea
Beaty read by NASA astronauts. Students will then work through the
Engineering Design Process to design a flying machine for Rosie
Revere. Students will build a simple “flying” machine as they investigate
aspects of force and motion.

*Robotic Hand STEM Challenge - S4P3a,c
Students will learn the important qualities of prosthetic limbs and will
use the Engineering Design Process to build a simple model robotic
hand.  Students will discover possible designs that could produce a
simple but functioning limb while learning how the skeletal systems
and muscular system work together.  After doing so, they should
consider the strengths and weaknesses of each idea before deciding on
which idea they think will provide the best solution.

Fifth Grade
*Fast Lane - S5P3a
*Build this Structure with Iggy Peck - S5E1c
*Variation of Traits - S5L2b
*Constructive & Destructive Processes - S5E1a, b, c
*Complete the Circuit! - S5P2a, b

*Strawberry DNA Extraction- Heredity and Genetics - S5L2a, b
Students should complete the Strawberry DNA Extraction lab.
Students will create a buffer using household products (dish
soap, salt and water). By following lab protocol, students will
extract DNA from at least two fruits and then compare the DNA
of each of the fruits.

Sixth Grade
*Weather Station Component - Barometer
*Moon's Phase Wheel - S6E2a
*Earth's Surface - Erosion and Deposition - S6E5d, e
*Ice Core - S6E4b
*Earth’s Place in the Universe - S6E1a, b, c, e

Seventh Grade
*The Key to It All - S7L1a
*How Can I Help? - S7L4c
*Biomes and Biomimicry - S74c; S7L5b

*Robotic Hand STEM Challenge - S7L2c
Students will learn the important qualities of prosthetic limbs and will
use the Engineering Design Process to build a simple model robotic
hand.  Students will discover possible designs that could produce a
simple but functioning limb while learning how the skeletal systems
and muscular system work together.  After doing so, they should
consider the strengths and weaknesses of each idea before deciding on
which idea they think will provide the best solution.

*Body Systems in Space- Body
Systems and homeostasis - S7L2c
Students will research body systems, functions and the effects on
zero gravity on Mars. Students will use the Engineering Design
Process to create a prototype of a product that would help an
astronaut living in zero gravity.

*Strawberry DNA Extraction- Heredity and Genetics - S7L3a, b
Students should complete the Strawberry DNA Extraction lab.
In the lab, students will create a buffer using household products
(dish soap, salt and water). By following lab protocol, students
will extract DNA from at least two fruits and then compare the
DNA of each of the fruits.

*The Unseen World: Structure and
Function of Cells- Plant and Animal Cells - S7L2a
Students will complete observations of plant and animal cells
using a homemade microscope, and then read informational texts
relating the new knowledge to the two microscope observations.

Eighth Grade 
*Bounce - S8P2b
*Compound Mixture Elements -
Separate Iron from Cereal - S8P1a
*Potential Energy to Kinetic Energy - Catapult - S8P2b
*It’s Melting - S8P2d
*Sail Away - S8P1c

*Rosie Revere's Flying Machine- Force and Motion - S8P3a, b, c
Students will listen to the story Rosie Revere Engineer by Andrea
Beaty read by NASA astronauts. Students will then work through the
Engineering Design Process to design a flying machine for Rosie
Revere. Students will build a simple “flying” machine as they
investigate aspects of force and motion.

*Robotic Hand STEM Challenge - S8P3B
Students will learn the important qualities of prosthetic limbs and will
use the Engineering Design Process to build a simple model robotic
hand.  Students will discover possible designs that could produce a
simple but functioning limb while learning how the skeletal systems
and muscular system work together.  After doing so, they should
consider the strengths and weaknesses of each idea before deciding on
which idea they think will provide the best solution.
